Good point. It may pee you off even further to learn that it's actually an 8 speed hub. I just assumed that with the bike being old it'd be 7 speed, don't know why - I'm bloody clueless. Sorry for wasting your time mate. :oops:

No ta, Gruff. Pretty sure mine's 7 speed anyway.

what model is it, ocr wcs? is it on a ritchey hub? I don't have any grease, would flora do the trick? I have a hub that works already, and a cassette, so I suppose I could rebuild it on that if if came to it. Never done it before though. :oops: anyone got a tyre while I'm at it?

pretty sure it's a seven speed. will check.

got exactly the same bike, bought it new in 98 and got it back off a friend recently. how are the upgrades going? I'll be looking to replace the forks, how much did those blue manitou set you back? Worth the hassle?

picked up my old klein pulse comp months ago and it's been stuck in the shed ever since. problem: buckled back wheel. (should never have sold it to my fat mate back in the day). v brakes obviously. Manchester area, or thereabouts, much cheapness but a solid wheel required. :P

Hello. Just about to pick up my last 'proper' mountain bike purchase, a 98 klein pulse comp. Bought it new (for a months wage!) from Harry Halls in Manchester, sold it to my mate around 2000... now he's getting something new so it's coming back to papa! Will be poking around this forum...
