It's not the axle - that's just shorter than the distance from bearing edges. The bolts also are fine. It's the black top hat caps. The insert is slightly too deep for the recess. They also sit on the inner ring of the bearing. It's as if they are manufactured too long. I've sent an enquiry to...

Haha! Thanks mate! The top ones are OK (blue as they were an aftermarket kit) it's the lower ones - the shock mount ones that have the back caps in the pic. They're the right caps from the actual SC pack and there was one included when I bought my bike (the other side had a washer...) The...

Thanks dude. Much appreciated. I ordered a propack for the ti links. The right part came but now my slight confusion is that the caps sit slightly proud of the bearings. I know the bearings are sealed but all the other links have caps that cover them. The bolts are tightened to tolerances but...

I'm hoping someone can help me as the only response I received from Santa Cruz tech support was "we're no longer supporting that model" Second ride out on my Blur LT build I managed to snap a pivot pin (the one that attaches the shock to the VPP pivot). There are 2 packs of parts that might...

This is definitely a large frame. The research I did showed that the blur xc was a straight top tube and the LT was the kinked top tube. Although I may be wrong!

Cheers Albash82! That's awesome! I keep it polished so it will stay shiny...

That would be awesome! Thank you.

Thank you! I finished it about 3 weeks ago but been back at work since. I'm looking forward to seeing your take on one! This was pretty much my perfect spec. Although I have a Hope addiction, I couldnt justify the cost of their cranks too! Any bearings or friction material was new. Most of the...

Ok. The parts list! There were very few compromises from my original list. Forks I could change at some point and the grips were some spares I had. I'd have liked Hope skewers too but if I change the fork, it may be a thru-axle one. Frame: 2005 Santa Cruz Blur LT Fork: Rockshox Tora 130mm (not...

Finished! At this point the bars have been changed and the Answer carbon flat ones are back in the parts bin as they made the riding position slightly too low.

Cranks and gears going on, wheels on and almost done!

Headset going in (same press I made to do my Kona), Forks and stem on, bars on and brakes starting to be fitted.

The frame is a 2005 Blur LT. Arrived as a bare frame (no shock, BB or anything else attached - full parts list at the bottom once all pics uploaded!) The colour is an odd one. In all my research I've not seen another in this. Its a very dark green, almost black in some light but when sunlight...

After lockdown #1 and my 1992 Kona Explosif Pro restomod build https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/1992-explosif-pro-project.415424/ I decided I enjoyed it so much I wanted to build something a bit more modern. Having never had a full-susser before, that was the route I wanted to take. So...

Re: Marzocchi bomber Z1 drop off forks Could be useful! What travel are they as I have a specific need for my frame. Cheers

Also interested if these are still around and the previous 2 end up saying no! My next project frame is arriving next week :D

Interested in "Middleburn - 36t - Red -110m BCD x 5 arms (okay condition) = £12.00" Can you send a pic please?

Decided to get into full suspension for the first time. I'd like to stick with Kona as it's a brand I know and love. My Explosif build isn't going anywhere - sentimental value as well as an awesome ride! But I am willing to part exchange my Felt Q520 for a frame or full bike or outright...

Re: For peoples info in case anyone thinks I dont use it as intended, this was after my morning ride a couple of days ago. Its definitely being used!! A few adjustments have been made to be a touch more comfortable and a slightly shorter stem is required as, since I last rode it prior to the...

Re: Re: Agreed. Same frame as my '92 (recently finished my build). Mine was originally a gold frame tho. Its now a metalflake black. This has 92 downtube decals and 93 spiral headtube logo. The correct one should be the same "K" as the downtube. Have fun with it! Possibly one of the best...
