Re: Mavic XC717 /Hope Hub Wheelset Nick, can you send me some pics of the XC717's pls. merlin@merlinallan.com

BTW, if they're Marzocchi forks, the Dr. is a great help. https://dr-marzocchi.projectweb.de

Just been through the whole brake post mounts issue myself! I presume you've tried the other post in difficult one? Just also worth checking the thread sizes. Typically M8 on the old bikes, but on mine they're 5-16th UNC and whilst an 8mm post will start screwing into a 5-16th UNC hole...

This is great info - thanks ishaw and stingray. I now feel confident to pull a set of Judy's apart and rebuild. I agree, I'll replace the MCU's with springs, but air conversions would be optimal. But like an idiot rookie I bought a set of 1 1/8th Judy's and should have known my old Merlin XLM...

Hi, do you still have the Judy XC 1" for sale?

Hi, do you still have the Judy XC's? If so, what length is the steerer?

Will do.

Great, thanks 96trekuser and Fluffychicken. Guess I better start taking them apart and seeing what work I need to do.

How lucky! I've just bought a Judy SL for my Merlin XLM rebuild project. My first fork rebuild (apart from motorcycle forks). Before I start stripping it down, are there any special tools I'll need? Is there a single re-furb kit available or do I need to source all the parts separately?

Re: Nice job, I'm very envious! Just starting out on a build of my own: bare frame 1990 (ish) Merlin XLM 20", frame number 6834. Struggling to find a 1" steerer shock and can't even find V-brakes that fit (the locator pins on the Shimano XTR's I bought don't line up!). Anyone who's rebuilt...

Re: Still got the CR for sale?
