Hi all, Have never needed to remove a cassette before and am so far failing miserably. I'd hoped - optimistically - that it might be possible to fudge something together holding the damned thing in place with an old chain wrapped around the cassette and a sledgehammer handle, and then go at...

Cheap preferred, but wondering what's out there..? Cheers all

Am after something like the budgie, going cheap... Must be disc compatible, am easy whether 8 or 9 speed. If 9 speed, bonus for cassette included, but no probs if not. Cheers all

That's it, really. At the moment, I'm commuting through Bristol traffic on a bike that doesn't have a rear brake. I like excitement as much as the next man, but this is getting silly... Dumb question: can I just whop my existing 8 speed rear cassette on to any old 'standard' rear hub? If...

Right, what do you make of this then..? In the end, today, I finally tired of the slop in the rear triangle on my Marin East Peak. The point at which I finally decided how I felt about cheap full suspension vs Kona hardtails was just after my head hit a tree hard enough to think, "man, I'm...

And moon on a stick please... Anyone able to help? I appreciate my customary micro-budget may hold me back here. Will consider other brands, but riding anything other than a Kona is starting to feel unfaithful... Ta all

Hi all, A few bits and pieces: Kore stem Black, mechanically fine, cosmetically well-loved. £8 posted. Rockshox J2's Cosmetically not bad - a few marks, as expected. They work fine, though seem to leak a little damping oil on to the stanchion. Stanchions are in good nick, so...

Am finishing off the Giant and the Marin, and am on the last couple of bits and pieces. Anything would be awesome though would prefer clicky, not twisty, on the shifter... Cheers all

Hi all, Returns are welcome if items are not what you expect, but the return postage will be at your expense. Bank transfer if at all possible, please. PP gift as last resort ;) ___________________________________________________________ Kona QR Seat clamp. Marked as 32...

Only proviso is you pay postage, but only after I've posted them, to ensure you pay the actual postage cost, not a best guess... Specialized saddle - not too bad nick, lump knocked out of the foam on corner. Built like a sofa... Crazy purple bar ends, like the early 90s never ended. End...

Hey all, Having frittered my money away on a wedding on the 3rd June, I'm on an absolute nano-budget to try and build something out of a Marin East Peak frame I came by recently. Quality and modernity are less of the essence than crazy cheap; this bike may end up looking post-apocalyptic...

I don't have anything left to write in the this section. Umm...

The old(ish)-school Marin's - how feasible is it to swap out the rear shock for a Fox air unit or other some-such? Does anyone have any thoughts or opinions on them they'd like to share? My missus is away for ten days, and having just dipped my toe into the waters of doing my first build...

When my old bike was nicked, I rode this as a commuter. It was my fiancee's, and when I saw the size, I was, like, "You've got to be kidding me..." But there it is. I don't want to landfill it - it's perfect useable. I could give it to my LBS who will take it, build it and sell it, and...

Hi all, So this is my bike and I'm loving this project - have never taken on anything like this before. Can anyone identify the frame and/or give me any further info? I haven't the first idea what it is? Bought on ebay with forks for £36 plus £20 postage. Having stripped...

...cheap Would prefer something clicky rather than something twisty, but on my budget, might be a beggar rather than a chooser... Anyone got anything..? Cheers all

Though I haven't seen too many yellow saddles. There may be a reason for that. Don't mind the age, but it needs to be light. Good nick would be nice too, though :)

Hi all, I have a Judy 2 - really don't know what year, and don't know if there's a choice. My guess would be 2006? Who knows... Anyway - in the fullness of time, I want to put a disc brake on the front, but in the meantime, I just need to chuck some V brakes on there. I have the brakes...
