I'll be overhauling a bike I bought for my son, it's a nice Mondraker foxy carbon r that's seen some action. First job is a drive train refresh, new chain, cassette, xt rear mech and possibly front chain ring, but that's in hand. Hub and freehub bearings need doing too. While I have all...

I bought a set of the test sl cranks recently but there is some wear I'm concerned about, rub which has made it through the decals and into the carbon up top next to the axle bolt. I could forget about it and buy some decals to cover it, but wondered what the real difference is between the...

I was wondering if I could run an 11 speed xt shifter with a 12 speed xt mech? I have looked online and the results were inconclusive and confusing. If I've read things correctly I sometimes get a hard no, some say it works flawlessly, some say you can run 12sp shifter and 11sp mech but not...

I'm no stranger to replacing hub and freehub bearings and have the need to do this on some newly acquired wheels that came attached to a Mondraker foxy r that I bought for my son, which arrived today. I knew the bearings needed doing but had no idea what make or model the hubs were until it...

I have a number of BB tools for most of the standards, square taper, isis, HT, ht2, 30mm etc but have recently found the ht2 road bbs are now smaller and don't fit any of my tools. Is there an adapter that will make any of my existing tools work or do I need yet another tool?

A good few years ago I had a few nice sets of Judy fax. I had 2 total air kits they were no's and for Judy's so I converted one and it was a brilliant fork. A few years later I rebuilt the bike as rigid and sold the converted fax and the others as well as the total air kits. I regret doing...

Rockshox xc32 silver forks. Fully working, lockout and rebound dials do what they are supposed to, as does the spring preload adjuster. Tapered steerer is 200mm long 120mm travel. Qr axle fitting. In good cosmetic order, some slight marks to stanchions which I hope show up in the pics...

All the middleburn cranks I've had, and I still have a few, have a lock ring which takes a tool that fits around the outside of the lock ring. A recent acquisition has a lock ring with Judy 2 pins to remove it. I'm guessing this isn't standard, right? I'm wondering how on earth I'm going to...

Bought these for a build but didn't use them, but they were useful in helping me discover I needed a set of 57mm long drop brakes, which these are. I did fit them and had intended to run them but I found a set of TRP brakes which I've used instead. They cost me £15 Inc post so just looking...

Looking to have a bike shipped to me. Used the standard service many times when selling but not the full box and packaging service which is what I'm going to need to get a bike I want for my son shipped to me. Do they send the box and packaging in advance? I'm assuming so but it's not clear...

Nothing is ever easy is it. Bought some ksyriums with a campag freehub but needed Shimano. Sorted a Shimano one and fitted it as per the campag one (little washer between the freehub and hub body) and it all seemed fine. However when spinning up and freewheeling, there is a sort of pulsing hum...

I have a frame with long dop calliper needs. No problem in theory, though didn't realise it was a thing until I had gone through a couple of purchases that didn't fit. Bought a set of Tektro 539 or something like that as a stop.gap to get the build going while waiting for something better...

Looking for a recommendation on 11 speed chains. I usually go for sram but wondering if I should change it up. Recently bought a Shimano which turned out to be a fake, and broke while my son was on the trails so keen to avoid making the same mistake. In short, recommend me a decent 11sp...

My 12 year old is currently getting lots of use from a 15 inch 26 inch hard tail I built him. He gets out on local trails and recently took a trip to peaselake and is really into it. He's now wanting a full suspension bike.and is spending a lot of time online trying to find one he can save up...

Looking for a rear mech to match a shifter as I can't overcome OCD and use an xt I have.

I have 3 frames that require a bottle boss replacement. 2 I have removed the bits already, the other to do but will win the battle. Anyone recommend a decent tool and associated boss nuts for the jobs in hand? 2 are alloy frames, one carbon if that makes a difference. Actually realised I...

My youngest son, 13 in October has recently got into mountain biking. I built him up a very well equipped bike (slx 1x11, hope brakes, fox forks, e-thirteen cranks, Mavic cross trail wheels etc). He goes out riding quite a lot and there are some local trails he's getting good use from. Today...

Sorting through some stuff today and have far too many grips then I can use. Pictured are 8 sets, I've uncovered a few more since which I'll include too. Yeti, wtb and more. Some new, all usable , nothing overly worn, in fact most barely show signs of use. After £25; plus post which works out...

I've got a few older fox forks, some I'm looking to hang on to as they are on builds, some spare id like to sell, but service before I do so the next owner can fit and ride. Looking for float or f-series service parts to keep some running and refresh those I don't need before selling. I've...

I'm looking to build a set of wheels. 27.5 around some wtb i30 rims and hope pro2 Evo hubs for s non boost frame and forks. I've done some initial research and the suggested spoke lengths are below, I am hoping someone in the know can confirm or deny this is correct. Also looking for...
