Hey, Doing up an old Kona, so ideally looking for some Project 2's, but will consider offers. 26" wheel, V brake bosses 260mm steerer Thredless Bristol What ya got?

Hi, I took my slightly out of true rear road bike wheel to my LBS earlier this week. I'd rounded off one of the nipples using the wrong sized spoke key (doh!) and didn't have the time or inclination to pfaff about with it myself. Anyway £15 lighter I get the wheel back, fit it and bang out a...

Hi, Struggling to find a pair of these. The ones listed on sites (inc UK Bike Store) are in fact mediums (part #850659) Anyone know where a pair of 165 mm hard / extra hard springs can be sourced from? Does anyone make aftermarket springs that fit? Anyone had experience cutting a longer set...

Hi, I have a pair of old Z4's that I'm overhauling. I weight 85kg / 13 stone. Anyone know what weight of springs I'll want? Cheers, JT

My girlfriend has just started commuting half way along the cycle path from the Bristol end. I know the cycle path has a bit of a reputation, but just how well deserved is it? She passed two lots of Police patrolling it this morning. I've insisted she doesn't use it after dark. Anyone on here...

Hi, I think I'm looking for a pair of Marzocchi canti / V brake bosses. Understand these are 97 - 2001 to fit forks with a machined bridge, not the magnesium ones. If any one has a pair kicking about that would be awesome. Windwave usefully have just one in stock :-( Cheers, JT

Not seen one of these before, they any good? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Magura-test-b ... 7955493%26

Howdy, I've striped and rebuilt a pair of 98 Z4's. They went back together as planned and I topped the 7.5wt fluid up to 4cm from the top of the stanchions, however there is no resistance in them at all. Suggestions on a postcard as to what I've done wrong? Can't imagine the springs are so...

Hi, I'm looking for a plastic push rod found in early sets of Z4's (not sure what other models carried them?) If you have an old set of forks languishing in the shed that are only good for repairs I might be keen to take them off your hands. Windwave suggests the push rod is no longer...

Hi, I've just bled the rear Deore disk brake caliper and re assembled. The leaver is nice and firm, the pads aligned and moving as they should be, but there is no power when the leaver is pulled hard. Just an annoying squeal and the wheel keeps moving. Have been pretty carefull not to get...

Evening all, Anyone know if its possible to get hold of replacement internals for a set of 98 Z4's? I foolishly overtightened the 15 mm bolt inside one of the leg stations and it's sheared off in the plastic damper. Doh! All suggestions gratefully received, JT

Just stripped down my first pair of '98 Z4 Bombers, the oil was a pretty grim and grey. No idea when they had last been serviced, if ever! Is there any way of knowing if they need new seals? The stanchions had been clean and seemed to hold pressure before I stripped 'em. Cheers, JT

Just picked up a pair of Z4's from Flea Bay. They need a service, never done one before. I have the Mazochi manual, all looks fairly simple. How will I know if the seals need replacing and is there anywhere cheaper than £16 a set from CRC? Cheers, JT

Hello, By hook or by crook I'm going to get my better half out on two wheels. She has a town bike and loves it. Next stage is to take her off road and show her some mud. Anyone looking to shift an 18" hard tail (she's 5'5") - decent spec of kit £500 - £600 range? Pls drop my a PM with images...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SANTA-CRUZ-SU ... 8439893%26 I'm guessing circa 2003 judging by nothing other than the colour and fork.... Anyone have a better idea? If it is 2003, price seems steep to me? Cheers, JT

Evening, I'm attempting to put together a new Deore chainset. Old cranks cleaned up, new rings purchased from CRC. Inner and outer rings go on fine, middle one just seems to be the wrong size or the spider is not the right model of deore? Appreciate your thoughts on this? JT

Hi, I've had a quick browse of the t-interweb and not come up with anything useful. Has anyone found a good, hard wearing paint for touching up XTR components? Or, to throw a spanner in the works, are there various shades of XTR grey? Many thanks, JT

Hi, I'm doing up my late '97 Zaskar and looking for some forks with 1 1/8th, circa 200mm long steerer. 80 - 100 mm travel, V brake compatible - in decent condition. Please drop me a note if you have some looking for a good home! Cheers, JT

Hi, Just picked up a pair of XT V brake leavers, one is perfect, the other seems to be missing a shim (see pics below). Anyone know if this spare part can be purchased and if so, where? Cheers, JT

Howdy, I'm looking for a pair of forks for my '97 Zaskar. 1 1/8th X 200mm long steerer. 80 - 100 mm travel. Judy, SID, or Pace RC36 (?) - with V brake bosses. Happy to service myself but must be in decent nick. Cheers, JT
