    Product to remove sticky MCU/Elastomers?

    Currently servicing a set of RockShox Judy XCs. The MCU stacks have entirely disintegrated. I’ve removed what I can but the remains are really sticky. Can anyone recommend a product that would eat through the stickiness? Not quite sure how I’m going to clean the inside of the upper tubes...

    Giant MCM Team

    Haven’t had cause to start a new build thread for a while as I’ve been winding down my retro bike activities (pretty much completed my collection), but I’ve had an eye open for one of these for many a year, just waiting for the right one to come along. Whilst this isn’t an expensive...

    Decent pair of cranks ruined

    Picked up a bike earlier this week mostly for the frame. Bonus in that it came with a set of Middleburn RS(7?) cranks attached, but unfortunately the last owner decided the best course of action to make them fit wasn’t to fit a longer BB or different set, but instead they needed to be...

    Holy Grail XTR Part!?!?

    Now I always thought that this was the extent of the original iteration of the XTR M900 groupset: And I was aware of the addition of a bottom bracket cable guide (SM-SP17) when the M910 groupset appeared for 1995, plus the various parts changes that came with the groupset before M950 changed...

    RockShox Mag 21 rebound

    What actually controls the speed of rebound in a RockShox Mag 21 fork? I have these Specialized Future Shocks (basically a Mag 21 I believe), and the rebound is pretty violent, so I’m wondering how I can slow it down. They seem to take and hold pressure, and the adjuster knobs are effective...

    Retrobikers Ebay user names

    I’m sure I regularly deal with Retrobike members via eBay, some more easily recognisable than others via their usernames, but the ability to communicate with them isn’t as easy as on here. Would it be worthwhile having a list / thread on here where RB’ers share their eBay handle in order to do...

    My time with 5 bridesmaids…

    ;) Reflecting on a surprising runner-up spot in the April BOTM poll, got me checking exactly how many times I’d been a runner-up, as I was thinking it must be 3 or 4 by now. But no, as far as I can tell I’ve been a runner-up 5 times now! :oops: That’s from about 15 or so entries since late...
