Help, I'm going senile. I've always thought I had a Dekef Mountain but I can't be sure of purchase year therefore it could possibly be a Generation. What are the defining differences for me to be sure?

A lovely set of Marzocchi Z2's in perfect working order, 1"1/8 with a 185 mm unthreaded steerer (star nut fitted). Seals all good, recently stripped and serviced and no faults present. Will only take rim brakes. Stamping to fork leg and crown show '97 build. Legs do show signs of use but...

I've stripped a 1996? rear Hope Ti-glide hub after bearing failure and want to ask if there should be a thin spacer/thrust washer between the free hub and hub proper? Bearing failure may have been due to excess play between the two and before I reassemble with new bearings I want to maximise...

I've got a pair of Reba forks and have just set them up with 80mm of travel, they aren't yet fitted to my Dekerf Mointain '96/7 and wondered if there was any reason why I couldn't reduce the travel down to 65mm, which would give an axle to crown measurement of 435mm (currently 450mm). I can't...

The drive side collar threads on my Phantom BB have finally worn out. The spindle is 17mm straight would it be possible to use an Action Tec cup in its place, with or without their locking collars? I can't find sizing for Action Tec spindles or bearings, if they use the same size bearing size I...

Im currently running Marzzochi Z2 forks on my Dekerf Mountain and want to improve performance and decrease weight. Without upsetting the geometry what's the longest travel and best upgrade forks out there?

We'll used but perfectly serviceable pair of m535's, threads, springs and cleat engagement works just fine. Plenty of wear to the bodies but only cosmetic- price £12 including postage. Paypal gift please.

Does anyone have a clue on how I'd get a Shimano Positron lever (5spd) to work with a 6 speed uniglide cassette and a Sachs-Huret derailleur? Are all my efforts in vain? I'll find out in the morning but an early warning or a hint would be appreciated.

Good condition and in very good nick, sale includes Aztec brake pads and holders. They are deeper drop (47mm - 57mm) so are compatible with bikes where mudguards are a must. They have an easy quick release mechanism which can be used on the move, should the need arise. The brake pads are worn...

I'm now planning the wife's pressie, just bought a set of wheels off here and now to get me really going on the build I need a frame and forks, ideally mixte. Needs to accept 700c wheels with a 126mm rear, at a push 130. Anything clean and tidy considered.

After a slow start my neglected and shunned eBay reject is pretty much what I need it to be- a reliable, all weather commuter. Initially it got a strip down and a rebuild, with only new tyres, grease and some TLC getting it back on the road. 18 months later and most upgrades have been completed...

Looking for a 170mm left hand Arabesque crank, good tapers. 130 BCD 3/32" chainrings in good nick- 38 and 52 teeth, I'd like them vintage if possible, to match my Arabesque drive side crank, ta.

I'm slowly collecting parts for a replacement drive train and am now in the process of trying to source chainrings and need help deciding on ring size. I'm using a Shimano Crane rear dérailleur which has a total capacity of 28 teeth, rear cassette will be a six speed 28/13 and I'd like...

I've been stood in my garage looking at my bike, as you do... when all of a sudden I notice the corrugated bit of rubber at the end of my noodle. What the hell is it for? Can of cider in hand and for the life of me I'm lost as to it's reason for existence. Someone please enlighten me, cos...

I'm recabling the gears and require 'cable straw'!?! for the sections that run on the top tube. My problem is I don't know what this stuff is called or where to get it. Any ideas. It isn't cable outer as such but is much thinner and just covers up straight runs of otherwise bare cable.

After 18 years my drivetrain needs replacing. Looking for red or green ano but condition more important, NOS or near as dammit required. 36 tooth - 110 BCD sorted 48 tooth now sorted 7 or 8 speed cassette- would like XTR. sorted

I've almost agreed to ride up Snowdon this coming Saturday (11th Feb). By agree I mean I'm 30% sure! My mate has a plan to ride from Rhyd-Ddu up over a saddle and down to LLanberis thence to the top of Snowdon and back down to Rhyd-Ddu. A 12 mile round trip... If there are any other...

Me and a few mates have been riding the Marin Trail during the week and three of us are riding retro, the fourth has just gone full suss Stumpjumper, apart from that he's a top bloke! Usually it's once but sometimes twice a week, normal start is about 8pm. Protocol expects we sup a pint in...

Just put a Ti-glide back together, fitted the freehub and noticed there was a 5mm gap between the outside of the drive side flange and inner face of the freehub lip. So I placed the wheel into the frame and used the skewer to press the freehub into the hub body. This drove them 3mm together...

I'm servicing some cheap VP pedals off a skip find, one of the cone nuts was chewed to pieces and so I tried my LBS and internet for a replacement, however it seems they are rare as hens teeth. Anyone got a spare or know where I can get a replacement? Ta.
