I have been building a road bike but it's stalled. All done bar the cabling. The main reason it's stalled is I'm not quite happy with the chainset, or at least I think I'm not. Running a 2x10 rival and force drive train. Chainset currently fitted is a new fsa gossamer pro. I go through...

I'm looking for a few chain rings to complete some chain sets. First up is a set of m952 in nos condition. I have a nos outer and inner in 110bcd but struggling to find the elusive middle. My struggle has me looking at alternatives and road compact is 110bcd. Obviously designed for 2x so...

Will probably be kicking myself at some point in the future when I need some, but have set myself a goal of clearing the spare parts I'm hoarding and buy what I need when I need it. Prices include UK postage. Here's a selection of 94 BCD rings for starters. Sold pending payment. Shimano...

Anyone near the DA15 postcode that could assist with collecting and posting a set of wheels? Thanks

I was swapping a cage over on a 12sp xt mech and an all today and was really surprised at how rusty they were. I had new springs to fit so not a problem, but in all my years of spannering, I've not seen so much rust and dirt within a rear mech. The spring in question is the one within the mech...

My latest purchase for my youngest is a Mondraker Foxy carbon R. It's used and while not abused, does have some marks here and there, previous frame protection peeling, faded decals under the top cost etc. I had planned to give the bike a full strip down and service at some point, he's getting...

Not having much luck in finding an affordable dry of non-boost 27.5 wheels for a build, well I say affordable, there's cheap and nasty, but nothings come up that rocks my boxes in a price range I think reasonable, I'm looking at building a set myself. I have some hope pro2 Evo hubs in vgc so...

While trying to sort out the stiff wheel bearing challenge, one symptom of this was when freewheeling, the chain would skip off the smallest cog. Obviously not good, but when pedalling it doesn't skip. Is this just down to the abnormal freewheel sticking (which I think I've solved), or a sign of...

I've just serviced a set of wheels. Front is fine and buttery smooth, freehub the same, but rear wheel bearings are stiff and I don't know why. It results in the cranks moving when freewheeling and the new chain skipping on the smallest cog too. It all went together as it came off, the off...

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...
