Used my Rockshox pump to inflate, which worked. I needed to add some more pressure (150 psi was not enough), but even with careful insertion and ample amounts of grease, the port is now not airtight anymore, it leaks air. Would it be possible to convert to a schraeder valve?

Image dump. I polished the rear and got some XTR shifters. Apart from the ring around the headtube to stop the crack and servicing the shock, she's finished.

Got some XTR shifters with the display. They shift like a dream. I need to get better pictures though.

The Tufo tires are on the yellow Edge above :)

I finished the Edge. I just have to repair the broken stuff like the shock, but it won't change visually.

So it's like the Rockshox Mag21, right?

I think the scratches you see are not real scratches, at least I cannot feel them and they are not real obvious on sight. I think the flash of the camera just highlighted them.

In my Rocky Mountain Edge TO I have a Risse Genesis shock that doesn't have the correct pressure and also there's air in the oil chamber. I found some manuals about how to service the shock, but I don't see a valve to deflate the shock. I took some pictures of what I think should be the valve...

Anyone know how to put some air into this Risse Genesis shock? I don't see any schraeder valve, just a small screw with a hole? Do you fill it using a needle, like mag 21s? /edit: Found some documentation, but it appears my air valve has broken off. I'll post pictures this evening. Would be a...

Finally finished refurbishing the Magura brakes. I disassembled them, spray painted tem red, assembled and bled them. I initially wanted to get a new hose, but I just reused the old one. It was still good enough. I'm just missing the decals and one of the quick release bolts. I'm using modern...

I thought the MTB tape was 25mm, so should fit well.

I have the XC4 model. They are on a bike I'm not going to ride much. And like you, I'm a bit afraid for punctures. I don't want to shell out another 80 euro to get a new tire. But I struggled enough getting them on that I would just ride them, just maybe not that hard as I ride my modern bikes...

For my tubulars, I got some Tufo rim tape and they went on with only a small fight :) But I guess it's a way smaller fight than when you actually glue them on. Also, Tufo still make new 26" tubulars.

I painted the Magura's. They came out very nice. Now to build them back up. I have a service set, so that should be relatively easy. I was looking for the decals, but I cannot find them anywhere. At least not the ones that are supposed to go on the levers. Any ideas?

Looks awesome!

I was thinking about a stainless ring that goes outside of the bottom headtube, not a complete new insert like that German guy did. Make it 0.05mm too small and heat it up to put it in place. Should work well I guess. I'm still tinkering with the bike, the specs are not final. I found an XTR...

I started work on the Magura's. I dismantled the whole system, drained all the oil and sanded the crusty paint down to the bare metal. I have to do the same for the front set and then I can start rebuilding. I need to order the quick-release bolts, they were not in the package. I'm also going to...

You gotta leave some for us...

Looks way better with the Syncros cranks. Almost every bike does :) I had a set on my Element in the 90's, but they cracked. I sold them for 200 euro with the defect, very sought after cranks.

I got a 2K can of RAL 3000 fire engine red from the local hardware store. I didn't know they sold 2K cans. They come in a limited selection of colors, but it will save the 2K clear coat. I took the bike out for some outside pictures, sadly the sun didn't want to come out. I spotted the brace of...
