    Wanted Stiff spring for noleen elt fork

    I have a noleen elt fork (not the smart shock version) but the spring on it is super thin and I need something a bit more supportive. I have another on a wall hanger frame but it's proper chipped and tatty so am after another fresher one if you have one let me know. Cheers

    Wanted Retro suspension fork for alpinestars cro mega large

    No sorry they don't. There are some that do the reverse eg 1 1/8 frame to take 1" headset but not the way round you require unfortunately.

    Wanted Retro suspension fork for alpinestars cro mega large

    Cheers and yes it's difficult as my frame is very large with a long head tube. I have just purchased some headset adapter cups that will allow me to fit a more common 1 1/8" threadless headset so my options will improve I hope.

    Orange clockwork bb size question

    Thank you all it was an old stx RC chainset but it's not in great condition. I have fitted an old FSA mega exo crank and BB as it's a restomod type bike as it's far from A1 condition though perfectly usable.

    Orange clockwork bb size question

    i have what i suspect is a 1994 orange clockwork but the bb fitted to it by a previous owner appears to be the wrong length as the chain rings sit way to far out to be of any real use. I searched through the brochures on here but exact deetails of the width across the square tapers is missing. I...

    proflex 857 seatpost size?

    i am building up a proflex 857 but the 27.2 diameter seatpost that i have seems too tight yet fits perfectly well in my older preoflex 856 frame. is there any difference in the 857 as the catalogue lists it as having the same 27.2 diameter seat post size as the 856?

    Do you notice extreme negative views of none retrobikers when you say you are trying to work with an older bike?

    I ran 1 x drivetrains back in 94. Never liked front mechs. Yes I had terrible chain lines for the easy gears but living round Suffolk I mostly live in the top 3 or 4 gears.
