    ARRRRR. Lost a bolt on my GT LTS

    It's the short, conical bolt which joins the linkage to the seat stay part of the rear unit. Anyone know if they are a standard or if they are even available anymore - or, hopefully, if anyone here has a spare? Thanks

    New rear shock for GT LTS 3000 DS???

    Anyone know if there's a shock out there other than the original Rockshox Delux which is relatively easy to fit on a Trunion style rear? Thanks

    How do I fit/where do I get....

    V-brake studs for Marzocchi bombers which have the lug, but not the bolt? I've seen plenty about, but can't seem to find out where to get the studs. Here's an example of a typical fork (not sure if this is convertable, though, as one of the lugs seems to have a cable guide in it - does...

    Suggest me some forks...

    I've got a GT LTS 3000 DS from around 98, and have started riding it again - mainly bouncy, rocky, rooty trails, some DH, and am looking to upgrade the forks. Currently I'm using single crown RST hi-5s (modded from originals - get about 100mm travel, don't bottom out, and have basic hard/soft...

    What were GTS LTS bikes designed for?

    I've dusted off my GT LTS 3000ds, and have been happily taking it over pretty rough terrian - some downhill (though not aggressive),and just generally putting it to good use. But what was the original design concept? I seem to remember when buying it that it was supposed to be aimed at more...

    How good were/are Judy XLs?

    Might be able toget my hands on a pair. Any good? Were they sprung or elastomer/springs? Read the reviews on MTBR, and they seemed to get a decent write up, but the last review is pretty old. What's teh general feeling about them now - a classic? Not that good in hindsight? So-so? Also...

    RST high five help

    I've got an old GT LTS 3000 DS, which I really like. It's in really good condition, but I want to try and get more/better performance from the forks. They are RST High 5's (single crown). They must be fifteen years old, and I was getting about 700 mm travel until I swapped out some elastomers...

    Should I add disk brakes?

    I've got a GT LTS 3000 DS, which I've recently started riding again after a long time (moved to a place where there's a lot more trail riding to be had). I always liked my LTS, though mainly for looks, as it didn't see much dirt in the city. Now though, I'm wondering about adding disk brakes. I...

    RST High Five steerer tube?

    I'm looking to replace the steerer tube to a single crown RST high Five. Anyone know if there are cheap and easy to find alernatives which will fit? I always assumed streerer tubes were universal, but the guy in the bike shop says not. Thanks

    Anyone recognize these Old Marzocchi sus forks?

    They're Marzocchi air forks from the mid 90s. No name other than Marzocchi. NOT MUCH travel - couple of inches, but might be okay for touring on rougher tracks (I'm putting together a MTB tourer from an old Saracen Sahara SE frame). Just interested in finding out how good they were/are...

    adding suspension forks to non sus frame.

    I'be got a pre 98 saracen which came with heavy, ugly maxpower chromo fork. I was going to swap them out for ions P2's (going to use the bike as a yourse), but then someone pointed out I'd be altering the geometries, as the p2's are a couple of inches longer. Wheel flop was mentioned. Not ideal...

    Saracen fork and wheel help

    I originally posted this in the <1998 board, thinking the Sahara I bought was older, but was advised to post here. Here's the post: Just got a Saracen Sahara SE for £26, which I'm going to convert to a tourer. It came with Weinman Bontrager B3C wheels with Exage hubs, and a Maxdrive cromo...

    Saracen fork and wheel help.

    Just got a Saracen Sahara SE for £26, which I'm going to convert to a tourer. It came with Weinman Bontrager B3C wheels with Exage hubs, and a Maxdrive cromo fork. Are these any good or best swapped out? The fork looks a bit iffy to me, kind of pretend suspension, though isn't. I was going...
