Nice condition XT shark fin SOLD (soup not included)

If you have no luck I have a pair in blue, threaded type.. For Sale XTR Vbrake spares + GT CroMo 1996 forks w STX RC cantis & cable stop

No.3 Calliper

Nice condition Mega9 brake and shifter set. Everything present, everything works, they could benefit from new rubber concertina boots and there is also some wear to the front noodle guide. Other than that they are in very nice condition Really don't know what kind of price these should be so...

I have thumbies too, two thumbies and eight fingies

The stop screws will be labelled L and H normally.. L is for low ratio stop adjustment, tighten this one until you feel resistance as it wants to go into the biggest sprocket, then back it off 1/4 turn or so and you should be ok

I'm torn whether to sell it, hence the asking price - it's worth more to me than selling it for a song. Many years of epic fun had on that bike. Something about them, stiff yet compliant, all the strength in the right places and then the geometry is spot on.

No worries, at least I know now.. Brilliant frames, i'm actually a bit reluctant to sell it even if it just sits in a cupboard for the next 15yrs when I build a bike up again..

definitely 17.5 in my understanding.. centre BB to where you see there..
