    WTB Wheel Rim Question

    Hi everyone. I've got a pair of silver coloured 26" WTB Speedmaster 23 x 11.3 rims, front on a Marin hub rear on an (axle-less) STX-RC hub.

    Marzocchi Marathon S Forks

    I've rebuilt a set of these air sprung oil damped forks, i.e. powder coat, new seals and new Schrader valves. The +ve and -ve air valves are recessed into the fork leg caps. I've bought an adaptor (not O.E.M as these are unobtainable) and this works fine on one side. The other leg has an...

    Orange Clockwork Forks

    I've a 1993 Clockwork with the original forks. This has probably been asked before but is it possible to fit suspension forks? I realise that these would have to be retro, and probably unobtainable. Would the geometry be adversely affected, is it a stupid idea? Thanks.

    Orange Clockwork 7 Speed Cassette.

    I've just fitted a Shimano HG50 7 speed cassette. Should it go all the way onto the splines i.e. basically touching the hub flange, or is there meant to be a gap for chain clearance between the largest cog and the spokes? I've replaced the old one (and fitted a new chain) because of slipping in...
