......stripped the threads whilst tightening the cable :( Any suggestions on how to make a repair on this 960? I was thinking of using some of that metal putty to 'remake' the threads any thoughts or should this be heading to the bike shop in the sky?

Plus or minus a couple of mm, but I need to replace the 122mm one I have to correct the chain alignment. Must be square taper, ideally Shimano compatible. So swap/purchase of axle or complete bottom bracket. Many thanks, Damian

I'm trying to get my head around the idiosyncrasies of these, I have no issues with the outer and middle mounts put the inners seem to be almost completely flat requiring significant spacers/washers to mount them. Are there specific XTR M900 inner mounting bolts or washers?

I know this is pretty much based on the clearance but how comfortably close can the tyre be to the forks or rear triangle. A couple of years ago I bought a lovely ladies 2006 Specialized Ruby Comp but she's had neck troubles since which makes riding difficult. I've just converted her drops to...

She's slowly getting there, finding the necessary bits is becoming more and more interesting. For a 19 year old bike she's in amazing condition, much better than the Bear Valley SE I was considering working on. Here's my first mock-up of her...... I won the saddle on eBay recently...

I like the non-descript nature of these but are they good or bad? I'm looking at the 48/36 (>=170mm) double combination with the focus on the bike being more on road than off. Anyone used these? Anyone got one that they no longer need? Damian

I'm slowly collecting the necessary bits to assemble my 1990 Marin Pine Mountain in Neon Orange and Gray Zolatone but I'm struggling to find some little accent details such as neon orange cables, pedals, tyres etc It was tempting to re-creating the 1990-era look but I fancied brightening the...

Am I crazy to consider this combination with a small 9-speed cassette? I had these components after upgrading my Lemond and wifey's Specialized and it seems a shame to waste them, although the current prices of current 105 and Ultegra on eBay it's very tempting to auction them! I'll use a...

Whilst browsing through my local Halfords I noticed they had quite a range of Plastikote cans, I was quite interested in the Gloss Black and Matt Grey as they looked (from their caps) identical to the 1992 BVSE OEM paint. What are peoples thoughts on these? Is it quality paint, or will it...

Just a quick question before I embarrass myself at my LBS. I have a 9 speed Shimano HG chain that's about 4-6 links short for the long cage I've got fitted. Now do LBS carry a 'supply' of spare links or am I destined to spend more money on a replacement chain. I'm guessing it's not too wise...

Can anyone help with the sizing? How do you measure these? There's currently a Ritchey Logic on her but it's quite knackered - seized bearings, now is it a 1" or 1 1/8"? Any recommendations on a suitable replacement? Many thanks!
