Sadly I have to sell all these parts. The bike has been sat in bitts for ages now because I wanted to get some work done on the frame but just haven't got around to it. I've also since developed a dodgy knee and hit financial hard times so everything you see in the build below is up for grabs...

Hi all. Took my frame to Halfords today to have the Hope BB removed so I can get the frame re-sprayed. They used a normal type pin spanner on it but the pins just broke and it gouged up the cups :cry: I remember when I installed it I did use some threadlock. This was about 6 months ago...

Hi. Need a hope BB tool desperately. Can anyone let me borrow one if I cover postage?

Riding along as you do and can hear a odd ticking noise from back wheel. Stop to have a look as you do and find a spoke hanging loose with half an alloy nipple on the end of it. The head of the nipple broke clean off!! No idea how it happened. Are alloy nipples bad or is this just a fluke occurence?

Hi all. Running Middleburn RS7 XC Duo on Hope Ti BB, Crank bros egg beater pedals. Chainring bolts are alloy. Crank bolts are Middleburn self extracting type. Got loads of creaking lateley. Tried tightening the crank bolts and there was a fair bit of room for tightening. It got less...

I heard of some aftermarket pad makers doing 'superlight' alu backed brake pads (A2Z, Discobrakes). Not been able to find any for my mini monos though. Anyone know if they are available and where to get 'em?

Hi all. I have a question on wheel stiffness. My current wheels are a mis-match Front is Mavic XC717 with DT rev double butted spokes. Rear is Mavic XM317 with plain gauge stainless spokes. This makes the rear very stiff and I like that but its also heavy compared to the front. I'd like to...

Hi all. Back toward the end of last summer I bought a Crank Bros Opium c headset. I was amazed with how light and low profile it was and thought the overall look was really cool. I performed fine since being installed and I have had no problems with it apart from one thing: RUST! How...

My mate posted on another forum about his BB being worn out. A few other people running external BB's have posted and the general idea I get is that these things are crap and wear out in a matter of months. Even the expensive ones. I have a 1995 Hope Ti square taper BB's and its still perfect...

Saw a group of 4 guys today and stopped to ask directions. One of them was on a very nice 97/98 Hei Hei with mint Pace Proclass forks. Just putting thi up in case he's a member here. If you are then 'Hi, and nice bike' :)

Just looking for people who own or have ridden this fork to see if the problem I have is common or not. On landing a 2.5 foot jump the rebound adjuster blew off and it spat out all the oil. Obviously the hard compression forced the oil downward and the pressure blew off the adjuster knob...

http://vimeo.com/10873021 The guys on a circa 25lb steel hardtail and 100mm forks and ripping it up! Seeing that video got me thinking. Are the magazines just selling us a trend and we all just follow along because its the in thing? This isnt to slag off any 'niche' of mountainbiking...

Looking for a CSU assembly for a SID fork. Something from 99 onwards would be good. Must be in decent condition.

Cheap pump need for my forks please.

Anyone know what its called or the RAL code for it?

When riding on the road the buzz from my tyres is causing the pad retention pins to rattle causing an annoying buzz. I noticed on one end of the pin is an O-ring which seems to fit into a little recess where the pi goes through the calliper. Should I just grease up the o-ring and pop the...
