    New Avid HS1 disc / rotor 160mm £9 posted

    Came with a new brake I bought but my bike has centrelock wheels so its no use. Cheaper than anywhere I can find. Will pack it up well & post quickly

    Saracen tufftrax frame, VGC, £35 posted

    Very nice Tufftrax frame with forks, BB & headset (worked fine on the bike). Couple of bits of cable rub but overall pretty darn good nick for its age in my opinion. 1 1/8 threadless so easy to put sus forks on. Includes push seatpost, ritchey stem and unbranded handlebar. I know I haven't...

    Pair of Bontrager 26 MTB wheels, as new, £40 posted

    Have a pair of wheels which came off an old Trek which has only been ridden once or twice - they are pretty much as new and the rims totally unworn. Not needed because I have disc wheels to go on. Bontrager rims & tyres, rear hub is Shimano, front unbranded, SRAM 8speed cassette & shimano...

    Plastics top caps on forks - nightmare to get off!!

    Tried a 6-pointed socket but I can feel the edges of the cap rounding, also soaked in WD40/GT85. Is there a trick I'm missing? The forks have barely been used but are 10 years old and have never been taken apart (RS Judy's) Cheers!

    Front disc install - splined hub

    Planning to put a cable front disc on the Tufftrax (not very retro sorry). I've read the Avid BB7's are the best brakes but the thing is, I have Shimano wheels with a splined disc fitting. Would I best be to just go with a Deore (which can come with a splined disc) or get a BB7 caliper and use a...

    Manitou spyder part

    I could do with an adjuster knob for a Manitou spyder (it connects to the elastomer)... or a knackered old fork I can strip for parts. cheers

    Chainrings for LX/XT M569/M739?

    Bought a bike with an LX M569 chainset (the chainrings are all worn), is there somewhere you can still buy the outer rings new? My bike shop said they can't get them anymore and the whole chainset needs replacing. My other bike has an M739 too so a spare would be good. Cheers

    Forks.

    Is it worth chancing s/h or would it be better to buy new low ends (Suntour XCR, RS Dart etc - even these will be better than most 90's forks right?). I need a 21cm tube which rules out most stuff on ebay and most of the higher end forks don't seem to have V-brake mounts either. What to do...

    Manitou spyder forks

    1) Is there a guide out there for servicing old Manitou spyders? 2) Would I be better off not bothering and looking out for better replacements? Cheers

    Swapping frame?

    Bought a mid 90's saracen bike on ebay but I'm thinking the frame will probably be a bit too big. The spec is good, pretty much all XT so I'm hoping to get another frame (hopefully a Gary Fisher) and swap the lot over. Just wondering what to look for in a frame so as much as poss will fit...
