    XT BR-M775 - serviceable?

    If you dismantle the caliper you can try to clean up the pistons then try for a match for the seals. Customers of ours claim to have succeeded, but we wouldn't try because of the time taken and the inability to offer a guarantee on the work. The trouble is that the pistons and bores may well...

    1996 Kona Hahanna

    Looks nice in that colour! You can make a good trueing stand out of a steel mtb rear triangle, use canti bosses to mount the vert and horizontal gauge. Looks like the rear wheel rim is worn through by the brake though😪

    Intermission: Night scene of Colston st, Bristol. Cue soft jazz, perhaps a lady with a tray of mini ice creams. The glow of cigarettes in the darkness.

    Bristol has loads of great bikes knocking around😍 It's the opposite of Holland, where everyone says "great for cycling" but most of the bikes are crap. Bristol, hilly, poor roads, rainy, seething with white van men, make of it what you will!👌
