    Giant Cadex CFM dropouts for Singlespeed/Disc modification.

    I am looking into getting one of these frames and fancy turning it into a nice lightweight rigid singlespeed for general riding around. I have seen other examples on here that have had new horizontal dropouts made and some for disc brakes and I would like to find either somewhere to get them...

    Anyone know what hub adapter I need on a Mavic Crossride

    I need to find the correct adapters to use this hub on a standard qr fork (so either qr or 9mm thru adapter) but the ones I was sent do not make this work. Looking on the Mavic site hasn't garnered any results. The hubs are CrossRide centrelock disc but I do not know what year they are from. I...

    Campagnolo Veloce braze on front mech £11

    Clearing through my stuff and found this and I don't have road bikes so I am sure someone on here might have use for it. Some little rust spots on the outside of the cage and some evidence of wear to the inner sides but other than that it is sound. £11 posted and it's yours.

    Shimano M700 XT Deer Head Super Plate Rear Mech £40

    I have an old M700 derailleur that I am never going to get round to using so I am putting it up for sale so someone can actually use it. It isnt in perfect condition with some scratching to the side and a little bash on the shoulder but it all pivots fine. The jockey wheels are in great...

    It is looking like i need to get a storage unit as a two bed flat is not big enough for my bikes and toolboxes so it looks like I will get a unit from Big Yellow and was wondering if anyone else has done this and has any suggestions about who to see about insuring my stuff once it is in storage?

    Installing a chain on 10 speed with a clutch mech, hints?

    I have just decided to upgrade the hardtail to 10 speed at the rear to get the benefit of the clutch mech but do you just use the old formula for determining chain length as you would for a normal mech? I am running 3x10 right now and probably will do for the foreseeable future.

    Anybody on here serviced their own Joplin post?

    I have a couple of Joplin posts that I need to fix up but haven't gotten round to until now and was wondering if anybody had found online stuff that they found particularly useful. I have one that refuses to go down and I'm unsure what is wrong with the other one.

    10 speed rear mech on a 9 speed system, is it possible?

    I am currently building up an On One 456SS and want to put on one of those clutch mechs that are available on the 10 speed groups but if I replace the jockey wheels for some older and wider 9 speed ones it should work as a 9 speed mech shouldn't it? I presume Shimano still have the same cable...

    Cannondale Headshok service centres

    I have posted this in the post 97 section too but had no replies. My forks are in need of a service and I am looking for recommendations for people who service older Cannondale forks, I am not overly sure what year they are as they have V and disc tabs but only about 60mm travel. So who have...

    Cannondale Headshok service centres

    I have a set of Headshok forks that are in need of a service, I think they are 1998 but I'm not so sure, they are rim and disc compatible. I was wondering who people would recommend to service these as TFT do more modern forks. I have been looking at Thumbprint Tuning so far as an option but any...
