Good evening all, so I have another 1997 Orange X1 frame which has a Hope Disc Brake adapter fitted to it. Sadly the bleed valve is sheared so I’m not sure I can extract it. But I was after some info on it. What hub is compatible with it? Normal 26” disc wheels don’t fit. I would love to make an...

The last time I rode my 1997 Orange X1 was at The Malverns Classic last year in the Retro XC event, sadly I’m unable to go this year due to work but it hasn’t stop me from dusting down the X1 giving it a quick service and then taking it out on sun drenched trails for a nice warm 10’miler today...
