Pics of the set I've got. 560mm wide. One end has slight car end crimp, but it is very slight (right hand side as sat on the bike). A few marks, logos are there but not as crisp as they left the factory. Shim is present and original.

Let me check, I may have a spare set.

Not sure if this helps but previous owner of this may be able to help? https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/bmw-super-tech-97-for-sale.354441/ And here with different shocks. https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/kit-frame-and-fork-bmw-supertech-1997-good-conditions.463190/ You might be able...

Above is true, but I have a few sets of avid brakes spare, sd7 etc.

While mulling over my options, it occurred to me that I could run the look forks with disc brakes. Enter my disc brake conversion RTS. @danson67 did the conversion. Has anyone run these forks with discs? Do the disc adaptors take a standard calliper? I'm on the fence as to whether to stick...

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.
