Any out there? NOS would be ideal. Thanks all

Does anyone know if I'm setting this up right? The front cable hanger is very slim and doesnt have the aperture for an adjustable barrell stop. So do I just run the cable through it with a ferrule? Sorry the pics are a bit out of focus...

I entered this for last year's International Poetry Competition....didn't win. But what do they know about the art of the bicycle anyway? I'm not bitter at all.

I need to replace my headset bearings. They are FSA 1 1/2 bottom and 1 1/8 top For my Pinarello Mantha, which has the tapered conical head tube. There's plenty of Chinese stuff about, but I'd prefer a UK supplier or good Japan made bearings.

Not very retro I know, but I just noticed the jockey wheels are running with teeth that resemble tooth picks. I'm not sure what wheels will fit the X9. Anyone have the answer. BTW: The bike is a Pinarello Mantha 29. @15 years old now, so maybe it will be a retro classic soon.

Any 130mm or 135mm rear hubs. Screw on or Cassette. Anything over 28h as that's too light for me. No disc hubs or track. It's an ATB build. Full wheels considered and cassettes, cogs, skewers etc... Thanks all, you always deliver. 👍

Do any exist? Got silver ones, but the spoil the overall look of my build.

Just fitting a TA chainset to my Roberts. The drive side is perfect, but the left arm, being very straight, is fouling the chainstay. I tried a Sugino mighty, and it was fine, except it was 175mm. The TA is quite a 'boxxy' design, so anything that vaguely resembles it will do. 170mm.... Any...

Is it a no-no to plug internal tubes at the BB junction? I'm just about to fit a TA Specialites bb to my Roberts. Thanks to member CasidyAce I purchased a weather sheath for it from SJS for £3! To prevent ingress from inside the frame to the bearings, is it advisable to bung up the tubes, or...

I'm looking into tripple front mechs for my Robert's. Before mountain bike groupsets took over mid 80's, what was the quality like for tourers using a tripple chainset? I'm guessing the industry standard was 28.6 clamp diameter, which is fine for my frame. Any suggestions?

I'm just about to fit a TA bottom bracket. They are not sealed units, as you all know, I'm sure. To prevent ingress from inside the frame, does anyone have a DIY fix for a sheath? There are Tioga ones on Ebay (not cheap).

I have a pair of Mavic Crossland wheels. Rim brake. The rear is 135mm. I have fitted an 8 speed Microshift cassette with a Mavic locking nut. There was a little play, so I fitted a 1.6mm shim. Upon fitting the wheel to 2 separate 135mm rear frames, the cassette binds horribly upon tightening...

The awkward sized ones. Any in Good condition?

My frame is a Robert's with a 68mm shell and 16.5 inch rear stays. Hubs are Mavic 577 8 speed 12-28 spread (26" rims) Chainset is TA Specialities (6 bolt) 24/36/46 I've been on Sheldons site, but still can't get a definitive width for the BB axle. Any gurus out there?

Any going? Must be in good nick for my restoration proj Rings not necessary, but anything complete or just cranks is ideal at this point. Thanks all

Any out there? I have Mavic 577 hubs with their own Mavic specific Freehub. I'm not aware of anything else that fits their pattern, so the hunt is on.

I'm just fitting a Microshift 8 speed cassette to a Mavic Crossland freehub. It all goes on fine, but there is quite a bit of play once the lockring is fitted. Anyone fitted shims before on these?

It's for my Orange Sk8 stem.
