Hi there, Is that a collar reducer on the deore lx far left..? I didnt know they existed, if that happens to be 34.9 down to 31.8 it appears to say on it this bundle is sold! I can use the collar to solve a problem and the rest are bonus spares..! regards Ben

Altus is never worth messing with in my mind, 7 or 8 spd rapidfire is cheap and plentiful enough to make buying good used and wandering if it will ever break would be my suggested path.. what kit does the rest of the bike have now? Ive stx 7 spd rapidfire on one well used bike, going fine no...

I remember seeing a video, a guy documents a whole road bike rebuild, stunning job, first ride it gets video footage of delaminating on him mid ride.. I think it was carbon main tubes.. anyhow riding an old bonded bike is brave enough, doing anything with paint, let alone heat is just plain...

Long shot maybe.. as title xtr derailleur in decent nick, avoid me buying from the sharks on fleabay... Cheers Enigma

Agh thankyou , not gone down the wanted ad route before as the forum has often enough thrown up the goods before ive built the bike! Will do ta.

Essentially all true... its not cost me crazy money this bike, given its all Hope / xtr... but more than I had in mind, but this forum is to blame.. I paint my own frames etc, and I enjoy building , just wish I could get more riding in, my other half gave up, but no denying her logic on why i...

Oh dear, well the xtr one is very light, but the cage looks like a standard chrome one, some of the secondhand stuff for lots of money looks awful like it washed up on the bloody beach! I will leave this here or do a wanted ad, see what happens whilst I do the rest, ive another bike to build...

So ive a groupset from a broken whyte prst of old, in amazing nick, going on an orange build.. When I bought the frame in covid, I thought use the bits from the dead whyte be a sensible money build etc.. However the front derailleur is a different size ( I want to keep it as I may want to put...

So true, back in the day I could only afford stx rc at best, only ever used stx rapidfire, lx v brakes when they came out.. Often secondhand etc on lower end of range steel frames mostly. Its all good stuff, the xt 8spd I have now on one bike is smoother no question, the xt v brakes are the...

How did I miss this, if not sold for any reason let me know.

Never had a Specialized but can associate with the hero worship, and the amazing looking bike. Fair play will follow the rest through, like cars adding it up is brutal, and not something I do any longer... its cheaper and healthier than drugs!

Well they do indeed look very very good. I am happy to take them please. Will pm thanks enigma

If you are after Marin bits, and not brake blocks, and want to sell some ritchey brake blocks.. pm me, I am after a set like those if they have some decent wear left in them! Could subsidise Marin bits..? understand if not. regards Enigma

Hi There, ive messaged a mate, I am building a polished alloy GT Zaskar for a mate, with that lx group. I would jump at these as they would look amazeballs..! He had said hope hubs, but he don't need hope! As I am not spending my money.. any chance of some reassurance on rim wear, apologies I...

I never could get on with spd, but those kool shoes I like! well bought.

Glad you saw where I was coming from a real world mate of years, he did the same despite my advice and destroyed his too…! Only an old Scott I think it was but nobody likes I told you so. Sounds like a better solution.

Hah ha.. I know I am natural born hoarder, I have an original new sticker like that glow logo somewhere, and if I had the cap in my teens I would still have it.. I’ve several I did have in my teens… surf brands, and a collection of animal watches and though my mbuk went which I regret I removed...

Everyone needs to stop this, I barely wear caps anymore, and am resisting the overpriced pitcher jugs ive seen .. as no need or use for them.. but I want a cap now.. I wanted a kona thumbs up enamel sign for twenty years asked a few shops to sell me one.. eventually got lucky and got one brand...
