Ahhh thanks FluffyChicken, you always have good facts, i never new Evolution was the branding for 1 1/4" headsets, so that has shed some light on this. I'll probably never know the answer to the above regarding YST. All i know is the rambo's are more rare, so i'm guessing there were either...

Amazing thanks so much for help @Cloverleaf 🙌

Hi all, Hope your all doing well. Had a bit of random question. Does anyone know if the YST evolution "rambo" headsets were sold for use for mountain bikes. And if the standard YST evolution "non rambo" headsets were for road bike etc. As i recently bought the standard evolution version...

Amazing thanks so much for all the help / advice guys 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Hi guys, Keep running into issues with my restoration of a 1990 Alpine Stars Al-mega DX. I finally managed to remove the plastic SKF bottom bracket, that was super rough. But the corrosion on the BB has caused damage to the aluminium shell and caused the threads to become very pitted. And now...

Hi all, I'm looking for a bottom bracket 73mm shell size, 122.5mm or 127mm spindle length, 1.37 x 24 for a build i'm doing. I bought a shimano UN300 but cannot get it to thread into 2x different bikes, the threads look fine on it, so not sure what's happening, but have seen video's pf others...

Sorry for delay, family came home 😩 spindle length total is 126.5 & drive side protrudes roughly 2.5cm & none drive side roughly is 2cm, not sure how well this worked as the bike was un-rideable so i stripped it straight away. Ps thanks for catalogue i did check it, but it just says sealed...

Thanks so much @gtturbo for reply and help, ahh ok that makes this sound way more simple, don't worry about trying to get yours out to measure 🙌🏻 just checked mine and its a 73mm. Ok i'm going to start the search for a UN72 or 91 in 73mm 1.22mm if i can find one. Thanks so much again.

Hi Guys, Been a while, hope your all well. I'm still trying to restore my 1990 al-mega (pre e-stay) but only getting to spend a day on it every so often due to family etc. Really hoping someone might be able to help me with the below question, not getting a definitive answer from goggle...

Hi all, I'm interested in buying a PARK TOOL TS-2.3 or even a 2.2 i know there are few on ebay, and i understand they hold there value, but all are out of my budget currently. If anyone has one and wants to do a quick sale. Pls let me know. Thanks,

Thanks for quick reply @FluffyChicken ahh ok, so if the 11T and compact drives came out the same time. I 100% now need to find a compact drive (bevelled edge newer shaped barrel) to add to this old DX hub like @hamster suggested a early on in the thread? Thanks for the time lines very helpful...

Hi @Tootyred thanks for replying and taking time to explain the situation in such an intelligible way. Sorry i've not replied to the last few posts. I've thought i should wait for the hub so not to waste anyone else's time on this. Finally bought and received a beautiful DX hub with the old...

Would any of you guys know the RAL code (or equivalent paint code) for the 1990 pre-estay AL-MEGA DX (do you know if they used the same exact luminous yellow colour on the 1991/92 e-stay DX? As i have two of these i'm still considering stripping the bad one and re-spraying as the half the paint...

Incredible!!!! @Antstark Thanks for finding it. You've got a deal, is all working ok? Let me know how i can pay you?

Do you prefer them with original paint even if its a bit battered? He saying its a 91, but i have a Al-mega DX (same none e-stay shape) and mine is 1990 all yellow, i thought the e-stay model was released in 1991? i have never seen an Al-Mega DX in this colour way before with pink forks, have...

Incredible thanks @hamster thanks for help with 1mm washers, so your STX hub i'm guessing is 8/9/10? so i have everything i need if i use the 3mm spacer at the back? according to sheldon he also says, i need to buy a Hyperglide C lock ring as well, do you think that's necessary? (sorry for more...

Thanks so much @hamster you truly are a wizard, please let me know what i need to do to transfer you the money for free body and axle etc (also dumb question i know, just wanted to check it would be a hollow axle i don't need the screwers as i'm going to be using those pitlock security skewers)...

Thanks for replying @FluffyChicken and for the insight 🙌🏻 great to know this will work 🎉 yes that was the next bit i was confused about, i couldn't figure out where this spacer needed to go. Please see attached cassette i just bought. I don't have the original cassette sadly. Is the spacer you...

Ahhh good point @synchronicity i didn't think about that.

Beautiful but pricey...
