    Wanted Nice v brake levers

    My thoughts are that they are very nice. A bit too expensive for me right now, but tempted to sell my nos blue ones now.

    Wanted Hope ti glide freehub and end cap

    I think someone was selling a pair, can't recall if it was the front or rear that was toast but good for spares.

    Wanted Wanted - economical 5-bolt Shimano 26 36 46 or 28 38 48 chainrings in either alloy or steel

    You may be able to get 110bcd road rings in the size you want. I used to use spa cycles for stuff like this but not sure Brexit has done any favours for shipping.

    Seatposts

    I think whatever looks nice. A thin post and big shim can look a bit iffy.

    XTR 950 Bottom Bracket with 952 Crankset

    The problem I had wasn't dirt or anything else preventing the fit, even took off the self extractors to see what was going on. The BB splines simply wouldn't slide into the crank arm splines. This was all using vgc kit. Ended up using the same model BB to crank and all worked fine. It was a...

    XTR 950 Bottom Bracket with 952 Crankset

    I had a similar issue once, though I think I've also had success with the same combo later. It was a strange one as the v1 splines should with any v1 crank.

    Wanted Nice v brake levers

    Black would suit better. Happy to take a look, do you have a price in mind? I did source some real levers but haven't decided on direction yet.

    Maybe, I have a nos set in blue but don't suit the build scheme.

    Throbbing hum from rear wheel - ksyrium

    In theory they should come apart as there's a kit to replace them. https://ebay.us/m/QG7f2V Need to see how the bushing can be removed without damage after testing the campag one as is. Anyone done this? I'd there a kit available in the UK?

    Throbbing hum from rear wheel - ksyrium

    A bit of research lead me to a video along this topic. I've taken off the freehub, given it a good clean and degrease, refitted everything after using the suggested mineral oil as a lube and it's marginally better. Not knowing what these wheels are supposed to sound like freewheeling it could...

    Long drop brakes - fitting issues

    Thanks, I did fiddle with the grub screw and it did seem to help. The bike isn't fully built yet so I'm just using my hands, not cabled up at this point. Hopefully next weekend will allow some cabling.

    Wanted WANTED: Nice 27.5 wheel set, with old school 9mm Q/R axle hubs

    You could buy a set of wheels and simply swap the end caps over, assuming the hubs allow. You can also get a kind of universal adapter which is simply a qr axle that fits all the way through the existing bolt through axle. I'm sure there are many hub options out there, hope and Mavic are 2...

    Frame identification please

    That's my old frame ;). Kind of regret selling it tbh. If the one in your pics (eBay) is one then there will be a verlicchi or v stamp somewhere on the frame if it's anything like my old one.

    Frame identification please

    When I saw this I thought it may be a Rudy project/verlicchi frame. Had one once in the purple. I don't think it is as the cable stops and canti mount are different to what I remember but you never know. Iirc it required a 1 1/4 fork.

    Throbbing hum from rear wheel - ksyrium

    Nothing is ever easy is it. Bought some ksyriums with a campag freehub but needed Shimano. Sorted a Shimano one and fitted it as per the campag one (little washer between the freehub and hub body) and it all seemed fine. However when spinning up and freewheeling, there is a sort of pulsing hum...

    Long drop brakes - fitting issues

    I have a frame with long dop calliper needs. No problem in theory, though didn't realise it was a thing until I had gone through a couple of purchases that didn't fit. Bought a set of Tektro 539 or something like that as a stop.gap to get the build going while waiting for something better...

    Wanted WANTED: Nice 27.5 wheel set, with old school 9mm Q/R axle hubs

    I had a similar challenge recently and another one but for non-boost. The qr hubbed wheels challenge was solved through a purchase of a cheap-ish wheel to close match the one I had. It wasn't for a top end bike but qr hubbed 27.5 wheels seem to be harder to find if you want a half decent set...

    11 speed chains

    Thanks, not looking to run 12sp, things are thin enough with 11sp imo, never saw the need for a lot of this modern drive train change. Bin lid cassettes and tiny front rings. 1x drive trains seem to cost more then 2 or 3x and there's less of it. Go figure? I digress, I'll give the kmc a look...
