    Gary Fisher Marlin Advice

    Someone at work has left a Gary Fisher in the bike shed for weeks, according to another cyclist he’s bought a new bike. I’m thinking of putting a note on it asking if it’s for sale. However I have no idea what it’s worth…. I don’t want to take a pic in case it looks like I’m doing something...

    Chris King help please

    Once again I’m out of my depth and needing help! My friend has asked me to change his forks from his Orange P7 to some Kona Project 2. The fork just had a nylon washer between it and the bottom cup, these seem to have a race built in? Any help will be massively appreciated.

    Rigid Forks Needed

    My mate has an Orange P7 and he wants help to get it back up and running, the sus forks are totally shot. I’ve found some cheap rigids that have a 390mm a2c the ones I’ve removed are 450mm. Will this be too much of a difference? I’ve never done this before so am worried it’ll look a bit “nose down”

    Found a hole!

    I’ve got and old stump jumper frame and I’ve discovered a small 2mm hole in a chain stay, I’ve never seen this before. But to be fair I’ve never tried to rescue a bike this old before.

    Losing my shit!

    Ive come on here to vent! I just got my hands on a 90s Stumpjumer adorned with loads of lovely bits, but the bottom bracket is holding on like you would not believe, I can’t bolt the tool in place cos the thread in the tapered bit is fucked, and the socket I have is too deep for the job really...

    Headset Help

    I’ve cleaned and re greased the headset on my 96 Hardrock, but if I pull the front brake there’s play in it. If I tighten it to remove the play the steering is stiff. Am I doing something wrong or does it just need replacing?
