    Shimano XTR M970 Rapidfire 9-spd shifters *BNIB*

    Having a clear out of project parts that realistically are never going to get used, perhaps they'll be more use to you? As title, bought new by me in 2011 for a steel hardtail build, but never used (still have protective plastic on thumb levers). Brand new in box, with all original XTR cables...

    Tomac Buckshot Pro frame & bits

    Selling my 2003 Buckshot Pro frame. It's a medium (18" C-T), and comes with a Hope QR seat clamp, XT front mech and Cane Creek C2 headset (cups in frame) which is not perfect bearing wise, but still very useable. I've ran it with both Manitou Mars Elite 80mm and Reba 100mm, so fairly...

    Kona Impact headset query... (91 Cindercone)

    After 20 odd years service the lower two races and bearings have finally bitten the dust. After some use in foul weather during Jan & Feb the bike was put into storage, steering was fine when it went away, but when I got it out yesterday, the steering was initially 'locked' in the straight...

    Anybody use a quill to Aheadset adapter???

    I ask as I currently have a threaded 1&1/8th headset on my '91 Kona Cinder Cone, and while the current period correct Syncros Cattle Prod looks great, I'm finding I'm getting quite a sore back on longer rides due to the stretched out riding position (frame is already fairly 'long' and the stem...

    Raceface Turbine - Ring compatibility?

    Just wondered if anyone else on here has had problems sourcing a replacement chainring (middle) for their Turbine's? I thought as long as the BCD was the same it would be OK, so I ordered a four bolt 104BCD Deore 32T ring, but when I tried to fit it the curvature of the inner ring attachment...

    Old Kona BB help please

    Well, after almost 20 years service, I think the old BB in my 1991 Cinder Cone has finally called it a day. Surprised it lasted this long really, though it did get regular greasings via the grease port. When spinning cranks with chain off and holding seat tube there's a definate roughness /...

    Grease for Cup & Cone

    Thought I'd try some new grease in my shimano hubs, so bought some Finish Line Teflon grease, the kind of off white colour in a white tube. Well, it says bearings etc on the tube, but its mighty thin... anybody else got any experience of this stuff, or used it for a hub service?

    Deore LX Freehub - 'am I missing a bearing...???'

    Been investigating a growling noise coming from my rear Deore LX Parallax hub - M563, generaly one per rotation. So, removed cassette and checked cup/cone & bearings and all seemed OK, so removed freehub, and when I removed the rubber seal at the very back of the freehub to expose the...

    Indexing on '91 Kona driving me mad...

    I recently replaced the chain again on my '91 Cinder Cone, but cassette was still fine so left it alone. But, the indexing is proving a real nightmare. On the few rides I've done with the new chain I'm getting a metallic sounding noise from the cassette / RD / jockey area when in the fourth...

    Help identifying a Raleigh Special Products frame...

    Not sure if there's any Raleigh guru's on here, but if so I'd be interested to know a little more about a frame that a friend has just acquired. It was bought new by his father in law some years ago, and is an alloy frame with some quite fancy CNC work on the chain stays (bit like my Tomac)...

    1991 Kona Cinder Cone Rear Wheel - SOLD

    Rear wheel, was taken off my CC in c. 94/95, when I upgraded the wheelset: Ukai UMT-17 Rim - very good, no deep scratches or gouges, just a couple of minor scratches, braking surfaces good as only used for 3 years, runs pretty true - perhaps a mm movement either way at most, sure it could be...

    1991 Kona Cinder Cone odd bits & pieces -Joe's Clips *SO

    Was going to put all these in one ad, but on preview it only seemed to pick up 4 of the 8 pics, so I've spilt them. Would prefer collection and certainly better for you as these are a little on the weighty side... Joe's Clips & SR Sakae pedals: Clips themselves are actually complete -...

    V-Brake Spring Problem

    Just wondered whether you can remove the spring adjuster element of a v-brake arm? Trying to centalise the pads, I found the small hex bolt was spinning in its thread. Thought the bolt threads might have stripped, but on closer look I realised the spring adjuster housing had cracked. They...

    80mm to 100mm forks - worthwhile???

    Posted this in the wrong forum...ooops, anyway here it is: I've been thinking for a little while now that I'd upgrade the forks on my Buckshot H/T from the std 80mm Mars Elites to 100mm (Reba/MX Comp etc). Couple of reasons, first I'd like to do a full service / refurb on them, but have...

    What is it with some sellers?

    I really do wonder about some people... Looking at a couple of options at present, either longer travel forks (from 80 to 100mm!) for my current HT or perhaps a newer 100/120mm forked steel HT. So, see a couple of possabilities on ebay, though one of the ads looked like it had been written...

    Rockshox Recon or Marzocchi MX Comp (pre abused, of course)?

    I'm looking to get a slightly longer travel fork for my Buckshot Pro (currently 80mm Manitou Mars Elites), and based on various reviews and a reply from Tomac themselves, 100mm seems to be where it is in terms of recommended travel, though they did say you might even get away with 120mm, but I...

    HELP... I don't want to break it!

    Hi, just wondered if any of you could shed any light on this. Unsure how much to tighten the crank bolt in the non drive side of my 2002 Tomac (Race Face Turbine crankset). I had to remove the cranks in order to fit a new BB (ISIS cartridge), but whereas the drive side came off easily with...

    Deore LX Parallax hub

    I've got these hubs on my '91 Kona, with a 7spd cassette, been on for years, just wondered if the hub (FH-M563) would be compatible with an 8spd cassette?
