Re: Edit: now found - seller made

Hi does anyone reproduce these decals at all? I’ve seen one on eBay but not the right colour for my forks. Have messaged them several times but they never reply. The only image I have is at an angle so I guess it would be difficult to reproduce.

Hi looking for NOS or VGC Avid 20 Vbrake callipers. Thanks Edit: found now

Re: Thank you. Yeah I’m thinking the same. Just wanted to maintain originally but it’s proving impossible. Shame really.

Hi all Currently trying to restore 98 Marin Rift Zone and noticed a lot of play in front suspension Manitou SX TPC Have taken it off and think it is the bushings that are worn as there is play if I move it in each hand A few questions if you can kindly help 1) how can I source replacement...

Hi - after a basic restoration of an old Marin Rift Zone 1998, I took it out for a ride and realised there was play in the front suspension. When i turned in upside down I noticed the bottom dropout nut is missing. Quite how it came off (was the person before me) is another thing. Looking for...

Re: Wanted - Shimano STX-RC Front Derailleur 34.9 Bottom Pull Found one now thanks

Re: Thanks but am keen to replace like-for like to maintain originality. I’m aware that I could fit loads of others Still on the hunt!

Wanted - Shimano STX-RC Front Derailleur 34.9 Bottom Pull My Marin Rift Zone 1998 has so much play in it that it has started to fail to go to lowest cog, and so it needs replacing, ideally with a NOS or VGC with no play in pivots. Let me know thanks!

Re: So it turns out that those eBay bits won’t fit as they are 12.7 ID and 15 OD. Luckily I didn’t buy. Bought a cheap £4 12mm eyelet (OD 14) and fitted it back - all perfect again without the expense of replacing all the parts. Cheers all

Re: Cheers - will buy you a pint if correct, and send you an invoice if wrong (joke) Thanks again

Re: Thank you - and I need the repair tool as well? Sorry to be a pain to do you have the link to it? I’ve looked for sellers other items and there’s nothing else

Re: Really appreciate your help thanks - we have measured the ID of the eyelet and it’s 12mm And 14mm OD. In their description they say comes with 12.7mm bush so will the supplied bit be too big? I’m so confused by it all. Ps all the bike shops I enquiried with for repair weren’t interested...

Re: Thank you - I may be being stupid so will the eBay link replace both the top hats and the small metal bushing? One thing I cannot find on the eBay page is the outer diameter of the middle bit of the replacement eBay part (i.e. I don’t know whether it will fit in the hole. It’s an 8mm bolt...

Re: Hi - I’ve added another pic which shows the insert. OD is 14.3 but too small for me to measure the ID. Any further advice would be much appreciated

Re: Thanks to all for replies: I’ve managed to get it all apart but stuck now as to what to replace it with Do the bushings in the eBay link replace the ‘top hats’ And what do I do about the round metal bit (14.2mm diameter) Have ordered the replacement bolt/nuts Any help gratefully...

Re: Hi thank you very much. We have tried removing but it feels like it is seized as the internal seems oval shape within a circular outside. Probably not been taken apart in over 20 years. I’ll put some freeing oil in it and do what you suggest. Thanks all

Hi all - my first foray into suspension mountain biking - have always used and maintained a non-suspension bike. Anyway have been given a Marin Rift Zone 1997-98ish and there is a clicking or knocking at the bottom of the suspension. I think it is some sort of bushing that is worn but I can’t...

Thank you!

Re: To any carrera comp owners - does anyone know what the model of the rear derailleur is - mine is a shimano stx and clearly has been swapped. Should be a deore xt but don’t know which model number it is. Any help greatly appreciated. TIA
