Who knew, aside from those that did. I always thought a qr axle was 9mm at both ends too. Blooming standards ;)

Hi, could be interested in the forks as I've a similar set with a broken adjuster so I could make it good again with some spares from yours if compatible.

Got a few sets here. Price is negotiable. https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/lots-of-v-brakes.494472/

Sorting through some stuff today and have far too many grips then I can use. Pictured are 8 sets, I've uncovered a few more since which I'll include too. Yeti, wtb and more. Some new, all usable , nothing overly worn, in fact most barely show signs of use. After £25; plus post which works...

Should be possible, it's just a riv-nut. My LBS wouldn't touch one I needed doing due to it being a carbon frame too, but in principle repairable.

So a few options for you. Depends on your current ratio and whether a single ring from the 2 orphans will work, or a full set. The chain set I have is currently running 5 arm spider and rings.

Another option is a race face ring I have. Pictures with some other rings to show it fits.

Next u, a brand new Shimano ring. I fitted it to a set of cranks ready for a build but 8 didn't use it in the end so while it's been fitted, it's never seen a chain.

Next up, a set of Shimano rings

I've had a rummage around and found a few options that fit the crank spider you have. First up, a set of race face turbine rings.

Suction cup?

I'm not necessarily looking to sell the cranks as I had intended to use them, but may be persuaded.

They did. Mega-lite iirc. Set for sale on here recently too. Maybe you can atone and at least have matching brand bars. Or leave as is.

I have a set of these cranks with both 5 and 4 arm spider so can check ring fitment.

Another tip I've just remembered from memory is that you can use the b-tension screw bit as a means to rotate it all into position. Iirc one end of the spring is longer than the other, I can't recall which end the longer end goes into but maybe whatever way to have it now, try it up the other.
