Left hand shifter wanted for Deore LX BR-M567. 3 Speed. The damn thumb release on mine broke so stuck in top gear ! Brake/Paint not important as I only need the thumb sift part.

Having read Hydorah's comprehensive rebuild of his British Eagle, I decided to tackle the manky wheels on my Trek. I would never have done this if I hadn't read his thread first and if you haven't read it I can thoroughly recomend it. http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewto ... sc&start=0...

Having just been caught by the wife cleaning my fork crown with the nail brush in the kitchen (now covered in grease), I just wondered if there are any other funny stories about 'er indoors moaning about our RB interest ?

This may have been asked a thousand times but I've never done this before. My Trek 930 has a serious scrape on the top tube which has exposed the bare Cro Mo under, which has now rusted. Overall it's about the size of a 5 pence piece. I want to try and remove this and try and blend in some...

Made you look..... :lol: This is my 1998 Specialized FSR Ground Control Stripped and ready for painting. Just need to decide on a colour scheme :?

Does anyone have an exploded view of the rear suspension make up for a '98 FSR Comp. I am in the process of stripping and rebuilding and wanted to replace the bolts and sockets (without the cost of a specialist kit) Any help greatly appreciated.

Ok, so you just picked up a bargain Specialized Rockhopper on Ebay ( Hypothetically speaking) Do you.... 1. Strip down frame and respray (chances are it was a bargain and frame scratched to hell) 2. Try and source original replacement components eg. Shimano GS and keep original but in...

I am thinking about parting with my very special limited edition Gary Fisher Grateful Dead. Very reluctant to do this because it will never be replaced. It must go for the right money, it is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own. If you have a serious offer, please PM me. It's pretty much...

Hi, I've got a 2000 Gary Fisher Joshua F1 with deflated rear Rockshox SID Dual Air Suspension. There was some squeeking coming from the unit so I have completly stripped it down and cleaned it but now have no way of re-inflating. The bottom float valve refers to a hyperdermic needle to...

Having just replaced the battery in my Sigma Computer I have had to reset the wheel size. (sorry no model number on the computer) I set MPH then had to input wheel size. I am using 700x23 tyres on Rigida wheels. I tried online manual stating 2133 but this was way out. I tried measuring the...

Left hand crank to suit my Shimano STX (SE?) FC-MC31 CH crankset for rebuild. 70mm.

About to start work on my first total rebuild. A Saracen Eiger. Original crankset was an STX SE but the LH Arm has been replaced at some stage with a cheap Taiwan replacement. Frame is going in for a respray or Powder Coat so I don't know whether to go retro and buy old crankset, knowing...
