I recently bought a Cannondale Super V for a rebuild, but i cant identify the Shimano cranks. It says "Hollowtech" on them & theyre grey in colour & stamped FC-M571 around the pedal thread hole. What are they?

Looking for a pair of XT V brake arms. . . dont need levers or pads, just the brake arms, just one pair. I also need a rear wheel for a rim brake. Obviously a disc hub would be ok, as long as the rim has a rim brake braking surface. Also, with a black rim if possible. It doesn't need to be...

I rarely go in Halfrauds - )about once every few years when i need an air freshener) but i went in the other day & i saw Voodoos in there. . . ! Surely, Voodoo hasn't become a Halfrauds brand has it? I remember when they started selling GTs & suddenly all the kudos went out of the brand. ...

Has anyone got one of these frames? I'm currently building one up, but am struggling to find the right size seat post. If anyone has a Box 1, 2, or 3, is there any chance of pulling the seatpost out to see what diameter it is? Thanks in advance.

A friend has offered me a set of Manitou Black forks. Apart from the fact that they have 100mm of travel i know nothing about these forks. Can anyone enlighten me? They are black in colour with gold anodised ally stantions & a steel steerer & disc brake only with lock out. Are they any...

I have a Giant Box frame for sale. It hails from around 1996/97. It was a complete bike when i got it 10 or so years ago, but now its just the frame & shock. I was going to build it up into a "freeride" kind of bike one day, but now ive used the parts on other projects & the frame has laid...

Ive heard that Avid BB5's are very good in the world of cable disc brakes. How are they compared to hydraulics on power, weight & reliability. My Hayes hydraulics need replacing & i like the idea of cable operated calipers. Im keen to know how theyve come on in the last 15 or so years...

I know this will have been asked a hundred times before, but whats the best all round gearing for a S/S ? Is it just best to use the 2-1 ratio ? I just happen to have a 36T ring & an 18T sprocket knocking around, so i was going to use that. Most of my riding is pretty hilly & rarely on...

I have had an old Stumpjumper in my garage for several years now & one day i hoped to get around to restoring it to its former glory. However, i can never find the time or enthusiasm to get started, so ive decided to get rid of it. Ideally, id like to swap it for some things i need to finish...

I looking for a pair of XT V-brakes - the paralell push jobbies (or XTR). I only need a set for one wheel. Has anyone got a pair that isn't stupidly expensive? Any condition - pads not required. Thanks

Im currently doing a 97 Zaskar rebuild (SS) and i wanted to paint it "differently". Ive thought about polished, but then you have to keep polishing it all the time & ive thought about classic white. . . but then i thought, how about "team scream" colours of yellow & sky blue. Any comments...

I have a set of these cranks. Does anyone know what "level" they are within the Shimano range(STX-LX-XT etc)? Also, approx what year are they? They're 5 arm compact drive.

Anyone remember those lovely curved framed Corratec MTBs of the late 90's & early 00's ? I always wanted one of those - the one with the beautifully coloured frame :D Also, who remembers Balance bikes from the mid-90's? Lovely looking aluminium frames with colour schemes that looked like...

What size are generally the best "all rounders" for a single speed MTB? Im thinking 34T front - 20T rear. Any thoughts or advice? What do most peeps use?

What sort of weight should i expect for a "reasonable" quality rigid fork? Around 1000gms. . . or should i expect less. How much would i expect to pay for a reasonable pair of forks - either new or used. . .? :)

Hi all. . . just stumbled accross this site following a conversation with a chap riding an early 90's Marin at Ashton Court a couple of weeks ago. Im currently building a 97 Zaskar LE for single speed racing, so found this site very interesting, as im constantly looking for bits. Ive been into...
