Hi All, Recently my Pace fork started to feel a bit sloppy, still some travel, but not as much as there was before, and what there was used up quickly... I should note its a RC35 with a CNC'd brace and an adjustable damper in the right leg, bought Stripped it down - and in the right hand leg...

Anyone got one of these for sale? Original not repro preferred but not mandatory.

Last year I restored a battered 14" cannondale head shox hard tail for my daughter, and she loves it. But the immortal words she uttered a few weeks back have given me a new project "dad, I really want a road bike" :-) having put some time into this, it's clear that there are only two types of...

After 20 years sterling service my Carnac shoes let me down today. Last time I wore them it was a hot day, and the Velcro strap had parted from the rest of the strap. Stuck it back and carried on! Today I'd just set off when the two had come apart permanently.... I managed to bodge a fix...

After nearly 20 years service on my cherished but lead a hard life 'dale, the XT M739 RHD shifter let me down. As I'm training for some big rides in the summer, I need her fixed, and cheaper is better. Does anyone have any experience with the Alivio M410 shifters, as it seems I can source one...

After nearly twenty years stirling work the XT 8 speed shifter on my old 'dale has died. Refused to shift lower than the middle of the cassette, some investigative work has proved inconculsive. Ideally I'd like to buy an M739 to fit onto the existing barmount. WHY ? Citrixccea

I'm looking for a 5mm alloy spacer for an 1 1/4" fork if anyone has one? Could trade for a star fangled nut (1 1/4") if anyone is short of one?

The ominous cracking noise from the lower race of my '94 dale signalled the death knell to the bearings - as they're Inch and a Quarter, do I try to source a new populated bearing race, change to cartridge, or just whack in a load of free flowing bearings ? I think I know the answer to this...

I'd love to complete my retro look for my Dave Rayner Raleigh Banana with a pair of Raleigh Banana Shorts. I'll consider any size, bib or standard shorts.

Still looking for a nice spread of gears for my raleigh banana, I bought a 7speed 13-25 freewheel. I wanted to split it, and mount the sprockets on my existing body, 13 and 15t sprockets were threaded, but with a little 'persuasion' they came off, 17 and 19 were unthreaded as I expected, but 21...

Looking for a Black Deore m525 front disc set - callliper, hose and right hand lever, ideally with a silver brake lever blade. Alternatively if someone's got a pair and needs a rear like the above, I could do a trade with balance.

My old cannondale series 3.0 from 1994 has always creaked - and in spite of many attempts by the LBS to address it over the years, I've just put up with it. The LBS told me that a hope bottom bracket in an aluminium frame could be the cause but they didn't really know. Finally (after 15 years...

Having had a discussion with my eldest daughter, who helped me with my recent Raleigh Banana restoration (viewtopic.php?f=23&t=246483), about how her current bike was looking a bit small, and did she want something New and Shiny, or Something Old and Cool. Straight away as quick as you like...

Phew - if ever there was a good time for your pedal spindle to separate from your pedal this was it, with a nice wide bus stop to attempt a left footed dismount, while my right foot hovered in mid air with the pedal still on it! Having snapped the pedal from the shoe, it looks like it simply...

The parts that were removed from my recently restored Raleigh Banana are now available. 3TTT/3T Road Stem, 1", 80 mm early 90's, great technical condition, no top cap, some insertion marks. Bolt and expander inc. £20 + postage at cost. Campagnolo Cobalto/Record Levers, very nice condition -...

From this thread viewtopic.php?f=12&t=245791 What do you do, when an old friend, in the form of a bike, reveals a secret history that you knew nothing about ? That's how I felt this weekend, when I discovered that 'that old yellow bike in the garage' as my wife would refer to it turned out to...

Hi All, I've had this bike for a few years now - since 1991 I think, and I've never known what it really is. What do I know about it - well the Raleigh Banana livery looks a bit home made, with electrical tape used quite effectively for the stripes. There's no Raleigh Head badge, and no sign...
