Is this the seatpost you're looking for? https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/xt-m732-ritchey-built-kit.492513/

Great thread, thanks

Bloody hell. Shimano don't make it easy do they! Cages off first sounds sensible and I've checked and the bolts are free so that's the easy part.

Please can someone tell me what tool is required to remove (and reinstall) the end cap on XT flat pedals - M731's in this case? I have just acquired a set and they need greased. While we're on the topic of grease, any recommendations for grease guns that can work with WTB hubs? Thanks all.

It seems to have vanished, so now I can't be outraged! Scrub that, it's back again...and feck me, that is outrageous!

It's a top flight oxymoron though isn't it. For the 1995 moneybags customer who wants the best of everything but hasn't a clue. I have to say though, as well as the DD I did not realise that there were XTR M910 hubs, so that's been an edoocayshun

What are all you short arms complaining about; the racer's choice of length! Great find @CTK

Very very nice. Those bottle cages reminded me of a titanium pair (can't recall the brand) I fitted to my road bike in the late 90s. Super light but on a practical level completely hopeless. They were just too flexy - a 750ml bottle would be shaken out on anything but a smooth road. You're...

This sounds like a nice project. What's it all being hung off then?

I have also noticed that the ability on Campag's website to scour the archived technical brochures from the 80's and 90's is no longer there unfortunately (unless I've missed this). Was a useful source for part identification.

This is an interesting thread so I did a bit of digging in the RB archives. The '89 catalogues for both Centaur and Euclid show screw-on rear hubs as part of the groupset, but the only thing missing is a freewheel. There's no mention of what Campag suggest to use surprisingly given they do...

Very sad to hear. Another figure from my cycling past now departed.

I hope that's £40 the seller will pay to take the Scott off his hands; it's horrible. I know what you mean about the Pugs. I've seen a few in the classifieds that have that ridiculous jacked up front. It must be a poor design of replacement aftermarket springs. I had one replaced on my old...

Looking for a pair of Specialized Mountain Clips, in black only, and a size large please. Need to be in reasonable to excellent condition i.e. they've not been overly playful with Mr Road Surface. Thanks
