OK great, I will buy them. Always wanted to have a go at building wheels. I will need some rims now Reiver

Hi, can you tell me rear axle size OLD. Cheers Reiver

Ordered XT M739 front mech, SLX 9spd cassette and an XT 739 rear mech. Not expensive! Rear mech hanger is here. Reiver

Thanks for that, clears year up. Can you or some one move my post to 1998 onwards section? Cheers Reiver

I noticed this ATX 850 was missing from brochures. The Shimano parts fitted have date stamps 1997 and 1998. It does have STX Shifters which are stand alone. I wonder if this is run out 'parts bin special' it's a lovely frame with rubbish brakes and frankly non descript wheels - rims are decent...

sam_white, Frame number is GB886707 I have seen some red ATX with rigid front forks Reiver

Hi all in MTB section, I picked up this Giant ATX 850 Expert series, looked in generally good condition. Its either 1997 or 98? Rear mech has gone into the spokes and destroyed the wheel and snapped the hanger off. So looking for a pair of wheels and tyres, front wheel is fine but not sure if I...

Thanks for the advice and I will keep an eye out for cracks. Reiver

Just looked at the Premier mech...... very nice! Reiver

Quick ride around my estate and the Road Ace rides very well, changes direction quickly. Changes gears great, slight noise from rear mech, looks like the cage is slightly out of line. I may need wider handle bars at some point. Blue outer cable for the rear mech needed, no rush yet as its...

I like the Mistral set, a bit too expensive for now. The offset chainset is a work of art, have I described that correctly? I may start collecting the parts to build a set up over the next year I was a bit dubious about the rear mech being plastic - has a good write up on DG'S site. The mech...

Pedals are refurbed/regreased and reassembled on the bike. Shortened my Shimano chain and did not ruin it - I did think I would cut it too short to be honest, speed link fitted - hey these are a revelation :) I have rigged up the front and rear derailleurs. Both Derailleurs work great, all gears...

They are very light, yes they have a plastic type body, would be nice with Titanium axles. They are from eighties yes, they have survived well. Now Fitted to the bike Reiver

More pics of reassembly Inner ball race all clean both sides. TF2 waterproof grease, always use this - use it on my motorcycles too :cool: Ball bearing into the inner race, grease the race first! Some grease on the axle, don't over do it. Axle back in correct side, dismantle one...
