    Can a Single Speed Freewheel fit an Old Campy Hub?

    On a hub such as this: If so, any manufacturers come to mind?

    Disgraceful behaviour

    It's the same feeling you get when someone puts an Oasis Lp in with their Beatles collection.

    Replacing Rear Mech Spring. How?

    Just had another afternoon of it and the spring is going the same way as the one I knackered last week. Just when I think it's in and the c clip is on, the mech feels horrible. It's as if the seating pin nearest the outside face has dislodged and is dragging around with no return springiness...

    Replacing Rear Mech Spring. How?

    I have to replace the B tension spring in my XTR M950. Thanks to member Matttymm, who sent me one. I've had this problem before with other rear mechs. How do you wind the B tension plate back in with the spring without it distorting or scoring an ugly gouge across the mech?

    Sold Single speed White Industries ENO hub, duo freewheel on 26” wheel

    I can confirm the quality of Merlin as a wheelbuilder. My Mavic 577 hubs on 217 rims are still running perfect after 30 years!

    Sorted XTR M950 B TENSION SPRING

    I tried to fix it, but it's like a bust mattress. Easier to replace.

    British Eagle Shadow LX and 531. £40 Southampton

    I had one of these 1993. Absolute bargain at the time. 531 frame with a full LX group for £450 new, at the same time a Trek or Kona with that kit was way more expensive. I ditched the Rigida wheels with the cheap spokes and put on Mavic 217's laced to 577 hubs. After that it was a beaut to ride.

    Sorted XTR M950 B TENSION SPRING

    I knackered the spring yesterday trying to reassemble the rear mech. They are a pain to get back in. Any spare ones? Thanks all
