    ERD for Alesa Xplorer 26"Rim

    That I intend to do using spokes attached to rim and a vernier caliper. I will endeavour to make the spokes flush with the bottom of the recess of the nipple and measure accordingly with spokes and vernier caliper to get my best estimate of the erd of any wheels I chose to build.

    ERD for Alesa Xplorer 26"Rim

    I am pretty sure it is 526 as it appears identical to a Ryde X-plorer. It also seems to be a disc brake version of the rim.

    Suitable Suspension fork for a 1990s Marin Team MTB

    Very good advice. I might see if I can find a rigid fork. Does this model's rigid forks vary much with the subsequent models in subsequent years. So I would be ok to use a a 1992 or 1993 fork even though they were made later.

    Suitable Suspension fork for a 1990s Marin Team MTB

    I just had that front mech in my spares. What would use for that year and model instead? I could find a front rigid fork for it. Unfortunately it was sold before I could get my hands on it. Anyone have a Marin rigid front fork as an alternative?

    Suitable Suspension fork for a 1990s Marin Team MTB

    My intended use is for road and trails, around town and for short commutes. It is a powdered grey colour, not sure what year. I need a couple of choices in case I can't get one on Wallapop here in Spain. By the way, what year is it? It has slightly shorter rear chain stays at 420 rather than...
