So, I got given a Giant ATX 990 (last picture) with a broken pivot by a friend...I wondered what to do with it when my Dad mentioned he might like a bike. So now I am firing on all cylinders to try and get this bike built with all my spares (but around work it's a chore). So first I made a...

Dear all, I'm building a bike for my Dad this xmas and am just after some riser bars (25.4mm clamp). Does anyone have any going spare? Sorry I am not after high zoot parts just something basic to get the bike going. I can trade bits and pay postage but other wise have no cash...

Hi all, please reccomend headphones or earphones for work. If at all possible I'd like them to be good fitting and silent to other office users. Bass is a must and I would prefer to steer cleer of those super deep earphones with the rubber plug as they feel weird. I currently have some like...

Things have been a little tense here lately and it all looks like it is coming to a head. It just seems so inevitable, so I thought we might as well have a bit of fun with it. This isn't meant to antagonise, but rather to help the two members see their actions are as ridiculous as this...

Hi all, A quick braking question. basically I want new brake pads on my BMX and haven't bought anything like this in ages. But as BMX doesn't really have much use for brakes so there isn't much option. I thought I'd ask here as I'd probably end up using MTB brake pads anyway. So please school...

Hi all, I'd like to try my hand at a homemade seat post and have all the bits from an old USE around. But as I don't have a carbon post, I'd like to know what their wall thickness is? - I know this is vague and model dependent, but... The tube I am looking at is...

I bought this the other day; http://www.homebase.co.uk/webapp/wcs/st ... xt%3EHOOKS I asked what fasteners to use and was told the red rawl plug and 6mm diameter screw set where the screw is 30ish mm long. I said I'd rather get bigger and went for the brown rawl plug, 7mm diameter screws...

So for many moons I have been trying to restore my Sunn and the biggest sticking point and the one that has down hearted me the most is the forks as shown below. They are an air oil fork and have carbon tubes for legs. So far in the many years I have had them, I have replaced the seals and...

What a nightmare this is. I have tons of orphan rims, shifters brakes, etc, etc. Would love matching stuff.

Hi all, I did a google search for this and didn't come up with anything, I hope I can expain it properly. When I try and use ebay, I can log on, and then after a couple of windows when I try and navigate to another page, it'll say internet explorer cannot find this page. I can refresh but...

Hi guys, I am after information on the 1994 (might be 1993) Maruishi line-up. I got my bike brand new in Japan, it had Suntour XC Pro through out, Zoom stem, bars and post and was blue and Yellow. It might have been called the black forest or black hawk, something like that. Let me...

Dear All, I know there are some stereo heads on this site and I was wonderin if you could help me. I have an Onkyo amp paired up to a pair of Bose Model 214 speakers, I've had them since about 1996 and they are one of my best/favourite things. The other day I was adding a DVD player to...

The rim rattles but nothing comes out.... Any ideas?

Please if I sold you a Mavic chain ring last year could I buy it back? I looked at a picture from me racing BITD and realised I'd sold my old Mavic race chain ring off my Sunn last year and I want to buy it back. If you have it I'll pay double what you did for it back. Or whatever...

Can anyone direct me to where my old pm's are? I am trying to work out who I sold a part to a while back and only have a few from this year and I need them from last year. Cheers

Hi guys, The other day my brother delivered my old down hill forks, which are some of the original 6 inch Hanebrinks. However no idea where the manual is hiding and I cannot find anything on the web. Can anyone direct me to a manual? Ideally I am after trying to work out what I need to...

I smashed my seat on the DH bike the other day, what would a nice strong, light seat be these days? Bear in mind I am doing jumps and drops and not really sitting on the seat, I am 14.5 stone, but the bike is perhaps 40lbs. The seat rails broke when the bike and I did a rolly polly after I...

Hello. I am rushing on my lunch break so long story short. Someone was tired on the motorway. The motorway signs say if tired take a break. Someone pulled into a service station and went to sleep. Someone woke up and drove on their way refreshed and driving safely. Someone...

Hi All, I have the Hope calliper adaptor as shown in the below picture (from Benandemu's awesome Marin build) and was wondering what Hope calliper I need to look out for? Any help with any documentation and instructions would be much appreciated, or help with the parts (even just...
