    For Sale 2005/06 Scott Genius MC20

    Selling my Scott Genius MC20. Size medium. Carbon frame, Fox32 Talas RL fork. Whole bike is original equipment. Fork regularly serviced but I think it needs a new Talas cartridge. However, works as is. Pull shock needs a service. Drivetrain refresh definitely necessary. Hub bearings need...

    Rock Lobster Team Tig SL?

    Oh, should have also said that it needs a dropout as this is not supplied with the frame.

    Rock Lobster Team Tig SL?

    Evening All I have a nice frame for sale. Was bought about 10 years ago to build a bike for the missus. Pretty sure it was a Rock Lobster Team Tig SL frame (dark blue metallic paint with yellow and black decals, I'll look for a pic online and post if I can find one). At the time, I...

    Best way to polish crank arms??

    All this polishing looks fantastic but aluminium oxidises very quickly (white powdery substance), even more quickly when exposed outdoors. How long are these parts looking good for? Surely you should be considering clear anodisation to preserve that nice finish?

    Black Gold chain oil?

    Just bought some green top. Looks/sounds a lot more akin to good old black gold. Fingers crossed, it may just satisfy this picky cyclist :roll:

    Black Gold chain oil?

    I find that when I get home after lubing the chain with 3 in 1 or WD40 the chain has attracted a nice thick layer of black sticky gunk, kind of like crude oil. Basicaly does the job but attracts lots of crud which makes the chain more difficult to maintain and more likely to wear other parts...

    help with gears!

    Freehub body? May be that more torque is required to turn the wheel when using smaller sprockets and this extra torque is causing the ratchet mechanism to slip? I have had this happen in the past. New freehub body solved the problem.

    Black Gold chain oil?

    'Course it made you faster. It actually lubricated your chain for more than 2 minutes unlike the shite that I bought recently!

    Black Gold chain oil?

    Bought some Rock n Roll Extreme, used it quite a lot, not particularly impressed with it. Doesn't live up to the Black Gold, nowhere near as good. Guess you can't compare to Black Gold unless you've tried it.
