Been meaning to post this up for a while as was helped getting this together by a few guys on here. Had the frame in the shed/garage for the past 7ish years after retiring it after cycling to Slovenia on it. Parts are a combination of spares box, Facebook marketplace (forks) and on here, and...

So slight oversight with my forks - ended up with a set of very cheap but not too tatty Pace RC36 forks off a local guy on facebook, but I have just realised they are missing somewhere to hang the cantilever cable stop! On previous builds I've hung the stop (or Tektro Power Hanger) off of a...

Yeah, at the time I wasn't too concerned, more annoyed as lost a days riding, but looking back it could have been horrific. To be honest my Uni riding days combined with alpine MTB trips had a fair few very close calls for me or my mates that I try not to think too much about. Top three being...

Had a front disk detach on a rental bike about 6 years ago - luckily was doing ~10mph across a soft meadow as it locked the front wheel dead and threw me over the bars. Had just been bombing down a steep alpine switchback road and it seemed 5 bolts loosened/disappeared and the final sheered as I...

Sorted now thanks!

Still looking, for reference something like the above would be great!

Awesome looks good, will send you a PM

So my previous wanted thread is now pretty much sorted after a few kind guys on here helped out and I spent a few hours scrolling the classifieds, with all that I need now is a set of semi decent cantilever brake levers. Ideally silver but not fussy as got both black and silver on the bike...

Dibs on the Thumbies - DM on route over...

Looks like I may have a donor bike for the wheels, bars and fork but it's already had the groupset removed to so yes please I'd love to take you up on that offer, of course don't mind fettling, that's part of the reason for building this back up! - will send you a message!

Yeah, groupset isn't going to be the biggest cost, it's the fact I have almost no parts from the original build so effectively need to get everything, even at £5-10 an item it soon gets silly when you start adding £3-5 postage per item! I put together a spreadsheet using prices from on here/ebay...

Hi All, I've had my 1995(ish) Raleigh M-Trax 2000 Ti sat in the garage for a couple of years (frame only) but really want to build her back up as a useable bike as I have so many great memories riding it as was my first proper MTB (in 2012) which I then did a few long tours with before retiring...

No problem - I'll hold them till the weekend (away from friday-monday but will have internet)

Bit of a Large clearout of parts I have accumulated over the last year or so. All prices are inclusive of postage (unless stated), discounts for collected bit and multiple buys and payment via paypal (or cash on collection) and feel free to make me an offer for any of it. I'll be at ssuk this...

Re: WTD: Carbon rigid disc forks - 42 to 44.5cm A-C Ok all sorted thanks

Re: WTD: Carbon rigid disc forks - 42 to 44.5cm A-C thanks - a little out of my budget though

I'm after a set of exotic or pace type carbon forks, but will consider other brands/types but disc only please, don't mind if a little scruffy as will be going on my homemade hardtail frame. Ideally 44.5cm ac but will consider slightly shorter ones if cheaper and needs to have 190mm steerer or more

Re: Rocky Mountain Blizzard Frame Bundle - BARGAIN! I can't believe it's still here either - I've been looking out for a decent early rocky mountain element for the past year, but they seem to be even rarer than these!

I wouldn't say I'm quite as an extreme case as you - but I find most stuff that advertises to be "race fit" seems to be ok - still a little baggy but not as bad as some "casual fit" stuff

This thread here sums up how to remove the anodising pretty well - but it will weaken it a bit
