    Whyte PRST-1 - this is going to take a while...

    don't anneal it, the aluminium is well within it's ductile state to allow that amount of correction. annealing it will destroy the fork which I think is 6061 so heat treated. out of interest, can you mount a hub and then measure again, as with an axle in and locked in place some of the twist...

    Hang on a minute. You mean to tell me you two aren't the same person? we'll blow me sideways with a ruler, I need to reconsider my world view.

    radial laced, makes it a bit easier to do as you don't have to think about the cross over. :)

    Are my Mavic Crosslinks f****ed?

    strip them, you'll want to soak the spokes in something to help them out, then strip the paint and clean as Toots says. if there are no obvious cracks, repaint and ride them. they look solid enough, just corroded.

    Carbon 26 Wheels MTB 8 Spoke who know them?

    can't be much worse than something like this for strength, although this is obviously a stiffer rim I guess.

    Carbon 26 Wheels MTB 8 Spoke who know them?

    It's an interesting idea. looks like prepreg sheet, which is dirty cheap, some custom fittings for sure at the rim. it should be reasonably stiff but I suspect somewhat more compliant to a side impact. I don't know, I'm sort intrigued by it, be nice to find out who dun it and what they were...

    Vintage Marzocchi Bombers (OG first model) VS. Rock Shox Judy T2 LT

    Eddison beat tesla with a worse country wide transmission system. Vhs beat betamax. Its not the quality of the product, its the ability of the marketing team.

    Any Help identifying frame please? It looks very similar to a DDG but im pretty sure its not. Any help would be much appreciated.

    It's not. :) you are right it's not a DDG shooter either. the nub behind the seat tube is an identify I'd be looking for, but I can't tell you what it is.

    Steerer tube extending without welding

    they've tanked the economy, snuggled up to dictators, pissed off a rich T**T, whist acting like one, pardoned themselves of past felonies, incited hatred and push back DEI by 20 years across the "western world"? goodness me those forks have been busy, guess it's because they've got 2 legs in a...

    Any tips on repairing vintage brakes?

    and let cool slowly, otherwise they become shrapnel. it doesn't have to be identical surely it just needs to be close enough?

    Whyte PRST-1 - this is going to take a while...

    the fork could be trued (it's already fucked, you can't make it any worse) with bit of mechanical effort and a jig. not an unusual activity to do on an aluminium frame. the drop outs are annoying but fixable. they look to be twisted by about 3 degrees, well within fixable (I'd be fine up to...

    Anyone into classic cars

    was it the fact it had a povo spec grill? :P does it have a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good regular gas?

    Any tips on repairing vintage brakes?

    piano wire and some patience to make a new spring. to be honest, the spring looks pretty familiar to any other brake of that type, so go looking and see what you can find.
