Looking for a few specific Mountain Biker (International?) magazines from 1991. Not sure if the magazine carried the ‘International’ monika at that stage. August, September & October. If you have those available please let me know.

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...

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...

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...

I'm looking for an early X-Lite flat Titanium bar - which I believe came with a shim. Not the later 540 Pro bar. Needs to be uncut and ideally in tip top condition. Any out there? Thanks.

;) 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...

I gathered an XTR group together for use on a Merlin I built up recently, but as I decided to go with XT this is now surplus to my needs. Wheels: Campagnolo Atek on 36H M900 hubs, complete with original QRs and intact rubber o-rings. Something odd that I’ve never seen before, is a crack in one...

Pretty sure I've got one of these in the spares draw. Better get it insured...

Anyone got a spare drive side end cap for a Hope Ti-Glide hub? In silver ideally, please.

When you come to sell things online, do you ever include a reason for selling the item(s)? I recently lost out on purchasing some items from an auction house, and as expected have already identified the items in question now listed on ebay - for overly inflated prices. Now it would have been my...

Tentative request for a 1" Klein MC1 stem/bar combo to suit a '92 Rascal. Ideally in UltraViolet/Magenta colourway and uncut (or extended back to original length if previously cut down). I'm UK based. Anything out there?

I’m struggling to fit a Syncros bar to a Syncros stem. The independent shim should sit centrally in the stem, but try as I might I can’t open the stem clamp up enough to prevent the shim from closing up and stopping me getting the bar through whilst keeping the shim in the central position...

Was this a good deal? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256790325135 I don't know enough about them nor am I looking for some, but seemed like a good price? Wide rims?!

My garage is uninsulated and unheated apart from the electric and oil heaters I turn on when I'm in there for prolonged periods (which is not very often these days), so is cold throughout the winter months. I have several battery powered tools/gadgets which more often than not will be dead as a...

On the look out for a complete set of 4 original brake pads for M900 XTR cantis, rider condition/part worn ideally. *Edit* sorted for the brake pads. Also could make use of a 170mm RH (drive side) M900 XTR crank if for some bizarre reason anyone has one spare! Failing that if you need a 170mm...

Looking for one of these ‘Strong’ Seatposts please, 27mm dia and uncut (length should be c.240-250mm I think), in silver, decent condition but doesn’t have to be perfect. There’s a few about overseas but prices are wild and often doubled by the postage!

Just pondering what chainset to put on my Merlin Ti and it got me thinking as to whether I am bound by a square taper crank because of the bb shell being the non-threaded type. Current plan is to install the standard 6903 bearings and a 17mm spindle, and a Shimano or Suntour crank. But… Are...

One needed please. Doesn't appear to be listed as a purchasable option on USE's site 🤷‍♂️

I have for sale a pair of 36H Mavic Paris GAO Dakar hubs mounted on Specialized GX26 anodised rims. Hubs are grey, 100/130 OLD, spin nicely and include Mavic skewers (with some surface corrosion to the chrome). Rims have very little brake surface wear. Both wheels are mostly straight, but...

Any guidance on what these might be worth please? 36h grey Mavic Paris Gao Dakar hubs with Mavic skewers, on Specialized GX26 dark anodised rims. Hubs spin smoothly, wheels are straight, and the rims have plenty of life left. Ignore the tyres.
