Just as stated really. Not fussed about titanium, but am fussed that it's great quality, ideally in tip top condition. Thanks, David.

Afternoon kids, after some educated views on this. I have a Centaur crank which I really want to keep, in fact I think it’s the only crank I’ll be happy using. It used to be on a Mavic BB which is ISO and now it’s on a Shimano which is JIS. As you can see from the pic it doesn’t seat as far...

Afternoon all. Is there any definitive answer on what BB I can use for a Centaur crank apart from the obvious Campag one? I need to put a 121-125max bb in a frame and I really want to use my Campy crank but can't find an ISO(I believe that's the closest to Campy) bb in that length. It's been...

As I’ve mentioned elsewhere I’ve not got a front facing seat clamp on my frame to stop it from collecting a load of crap when I’m riding. Most seem to ditch a q/r completely and go for a simple bolt with is fine, but wanted to know specifically on the Dogs Bollox, is it a bolt that is sunk...

I currently have a Ringle quick release for my seat post as I now have a front facing seat clamp my thigh brushes it as I pedal, so I’m either going to have to get a Allen key style binder bolt(bit of a shame, or find something much slimmer than the rather bulky Ringle. Open to suggestions, as...

After getting some wrong info I now need a front mech for my build with a larger band. I don’t know the sizes these came in but need something close 29.5 I think. Must be nice condition and too pull. Thanks, D.

After sadly developing a crack in my seat tube I was forced to repair and respray the old girl. I took this opportunity to tweak a few things, and as it’s really my only bike bar an old Bear Valley I thought I’d entertain you lot with an exciting build thread. I’ve detailed the bike here before...

Struggling to find anything that'll do me in an ISO fitting, so any help gratefully received. I’m after as close to box fresh as possible, want to fit and forget basically.

As per title, nice condition only please. Thanks, D.

Is there a reputable place to get these or does anyone just grab from Ebay - which looks easy? Apparently you can only get them with a tube set, and I'm getting bike resprayed atm, so need some replacements. edit - I've just mailed Columbus - see if they can help. Thanks, David.

Still needed as I guess Winston’s tubes are chubbier than he thought as the 28.6 doesn’t fit. I don’t know what sizes they came in but based on my maths it looks like 29.5. Nice condition please as it'll be going on a nice, newly painted frame.

As I'm sending the frame off for an overhaul and replacing the seattube, I thought now would be a good time to think about the bottom bracket. Was chamfered for a Mavic sealed job when I got it 30 years ago and that same bb is in there now. Can't argue with it's dependability... What are...

After the drama with my Phantom and possibly being unable to source a replacement Max seat-tube I'm considering just getting a replacement frame and retiring old greeny to school run duties. If anyone has a Dog's that needs a loving, caring home please let me know. I'm 5'11 so I 17.5" roughly...

So, here's my bike. It's a nice bike, and I've ridden it as intended for 35+ years after having it made to measure all that time ago. As I mentioned a few years ago on here this was a custom build, basically a Phantom, being a full Max OR frameset, but with a sloping tt and straight Max forks as...

Deore level quality would be grand, don't want spotless at all, just decent and serviceable and cheap. Thanks, David.

Just changed my chain and freewheel and now it’s making a right racket on the middle ring only so assume it’s just worn out being the most used by far. Anyone got one they don’t need?

I’ve run Paris Dakar rims and hubs forever and always loved the durability and look but they are a bit porky and the rims are a really tired now. Now the rear hub needs an overhaul seems like the right time to find an alternative set that’s as nearly as durable but lighter but I have no idea...

As per the title, it's time to refresh a few bits on the bike so looking for any of those bits mentioned. Thanks, David.

It's been a long time since I've needed to replace some of these, so what's the current thinking? Stay OEM or look at BBB or similar? It's for a M735 XT, so 7 speed. Cheers, David.

My existing Campy (Centaur I think) is horribly notchy and tbh looking a little tired. So I could sort the bearings out or swap for something else. I see Chris King's are dead popular on here - are they just terrific and that's that? Should I go for one of those? It's 1" btw. Cheers, D.
