I have a set of Pace RC36 forks attached to my Klein Pulse. When going over a small drop or similar there is a rather large thump as the fork extends to its full travel position. I am not sure which model they are as I did not buy then new, classified specials, but they have only what looks...

Is there a structural reason for the brake mounts to be facing towards the rear of the bike? Is there any reason other than aesthetics that i cant swap them over to have them facing forward?

Anyone got a nice 8 speed cassette for sale? Thanks in advance.

I have a set of Magura Julie from the early 2000's. The ones with the oval cap on the reservoir. Sadly the front one is starting to weep oil from around the reservoir cap. To compound the issue the allen key bolt is rounded off. Firstly, can spares be obtained? If so from where? Or...

As above, rear mech required for mid 90s Gary Fisher. Long cage, Shimano Deore or better (if possible). Would need to be able to work with seven speeds. Thanks in advance.

Have recently got a pair of RC36 forks. Have cleaned them up, polished them and now fitted them to the frame. I was starting to get carried away thinking it was just about ready to start building it back up when I encountered a problem. How do you fit V brakes? The mounting bosses do not have...

After the Shimano 5 arm crank question here comes the next in what may well turn out to be "bone headed" questions: For the perusal of your honours an XT front mech. It works fine, in fact the change is better than my 2010 bike! It does look a bit grotty though. Caveat being it looks...

As part of the on going rebuild of my first retrobike. I have been looking at the cranks. The chainrings are completely trashed. Cant seem to find replacements in any of the online shops. All I can find is 4 arm ones. Is it now defunct? Obsolete? Do i need to look to a new one? I can post...

First ever retrobike requires wheels. Not overly fussy but would like something like a basic Mavic to Deore hubs. Would like 8/9 speed. Colour not important as long as they match and run true/smoothly etc Anyone have anything? Cheers

The frame is now at the powder coaters. Hopefully it will be back mid week or at least by the weekend. Now we need to look at the forks. The ones currently fitted are set of RST Mozo pro. I am not sure if these are in keeping with where i want to go with this and the colour is very wrong...

Do we have any thoughts on these. Just picked one up for next to nothing as something to ride whilst I work on another bike of mine. Pics to follow if anyone is interested.

Wanted for my first retro project a very cheap bike to learn all the required skills and techniques on before spending any serious money. Must be: Steel frame and rigid forks. 17 or 18 inch In a currently ridable condition to allow the odd ride to prevent losing interest. As cheap as...

Have been lurking for a while and admiring some of the beautiful bikes on here. Could anyone suggest or point me in the direction of a suitable bike to start out with. I think I have gleaned enough to know that I want something steel. A complete bike would be my preference. I would prefer it...

Gentlemen, First post I know but I have been lurking for a while now. Been off bikes since about 1985-6. Recently bought a MTB and been out on it a fair bit. Sadly it is not scratching the itch I have. I suppose I want to relive my youth and for that i am going to need a BMX. I looked in the...
