I recently bought a TV/monitor and I don't have a licence. I also live in a converted Victorian house and each flat has to have a licence. The TV Licensing people wrote to me a few weeks later asking why I didn't have a licence and I told them it was for my PC and not for watching TV. They...

You still have the problem of the thinner tube wall on the threaded forks though......

I've got a set of these. They're the Tektro made ones but still unusual.

I'll have to have a look for this Stag chilli. Never really buy canned stuff like that. I'll see how long it takes me to eat a can of it. 8)

If they're standard cartridge bearings they should just press out. Then you can take the bearing to your local bearing supplier, who should be able to measure it up for a replacement. :wink:

Is everyone absolutely sure that they're not thingamabobs? :?

We sold these bitd. They're called Rock Lizard iIrc. Nothing to do with Lizard Skins. They cost about £20 and they were indeed made by Acor.

They're Marin Lite brakes based on the Avid Tri Align. Taiwanese made and a bit of a nightmare to set up compared to the Avids. Nice looking brake but strictly mid-range componentry at best.

That's correct. The top hat washer is/was used to provide clearance between the booster and the linkage on XT and XTR Vs.

Have you tried it on a Judy? I seem to remember a few companies did upgrade braces bitd.

I know. Pace being a good example. :wink:

Seeing this thread has made me dig up my old W003 with the orange face. Needs a strap and a battery though. At the mo I'm wearing my Citizen Eco-drive Titanium (with an Animal watch strap). It seems that Animal aren't the only company that has watch straps that disintegrate! :lol:

Are they removable bosses? I've seen a couple of frames where the spring holes are in a separate plate from the brake boss itself. Obviously it's possible to fit the plate in the wrong place if someone doesn't know what they're doing. That said Raleigh ones are usually welded/bonded on...

Personally I never set a budget for a build because I know that I'd always go over it. I just carry on with a build until I'm satisfied that it's complete (for a short amount of time :lol: ).

Partly. It's also to do with various fork fittings. A few years ago there were several fork/calliper fittings that weren't always the same, even if they looked like it.
