Interesting to finally get these things stripped and cleaned. Everything came to bits as planned, thanks again for the advice, and it revealed a few deviations form what was expected - I assume form the previous owner of the forks from 10 or so years ago! There were no top-out cores, although...

Thank you kindly Mr Ox - we're eating out tonight, quite excited as first time in a while, but will try get back on these tomorrow and let you know how things pan out!

Well, haven't been on here for years - but having my full suss stead stolen by some scumbags I thought I'd dust down my old Orange Elite and ride out with my youngest. Had a few good rides, but the RC35s are definitely in need of attention - they weren't the best to start and I think the wet and...

PM sent re: Suntour XC Ltd Rear :D

Sounds good - if easy enough to post pic then please do. I can't believe someone came back so quickly :D

Someone must have a spare lying around ... :shock: I want to convert to V-brakes on my work horse so that I can stop quicker when the cars attack me :evil:

Is the rear mech still available? Dibs if it is :wink:

Do you still have the X-1 rear mech?

Set this up at the start of the week - not sure of most appropriate subject, but I think here is most relevant: http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/20609 Would not only open up miles of off-road access but would allow use of pavements in making safer cycling for children and...

Put me down as a maybe - got a mad weekend. If I don't make the ride on Saturday what are the plans for Sunday - start, time, etc.?

Finally fitted these yesterday and rode them hard today on some local trails. This is the first time I have EVER ridden with any suspension :oops: - WOW - can't believe what I've been missing out on! if only I had spemnt a few hundred quid extra when I spent over a grand on my Elite all...

You never know - it was justbackdated who I got the clip from, although it was the same size as another I had ... ... the mystery continues :?

Couldn't wait - and I have a spare :twisted: Marked it up, removed, clamped, cut with dremel - refitted - back in crown ... ... PERFECT!! :D Now, why would that be? Maybe an older crown that accepted shorter ring clips?

OK - I've taken your input on board. The steerer is fully inserted - if I take it out slightly the crown and steerer are true!! Looking at the ring on the bottom of the steerer ii goes almost all the way around - looking at the ring on another (1 1/8") steerer I have the ring only goes 3/4...

Hi. Yup these are RC35s, my bad - title changed :) I have the shim, it's an issue between the steerer and crown - of the 1.25" variety. You can see in the below pictures - not very good but my mobile is all I have to hand at the mo.
