Does anyone have instructions or a guide for 454 cranks and Bb install. Lots of spacers but no idea how they go

Cheers for the reply. Brakes are C2 and I need to use a 5 bolt disc now. So maybe the ones that came with the wheels are the ones to use in the end.

Yeh I realise most of the mainstream ones are air but many upgrade them with Push to a coil. You can’t beat a coil for feel and big hit. They don’t upgrade them to a elastomer 😂 I’ve 5 or 6 sets of SL’s and all have different combos of internals. None original though but by far the best is...

If elastomers were decent why does nobody use that tech now? Genuine question I prefer springs in Judys personally apart from weight.

I need to make a matching pair of Hope 5 bolt rotors in 185 /165 First question is … are these two a Hope rotor? I’m sure the rear is but not so sure about the front. Next ….. I’ve got a 185 in this slotted style rotor which I prefer. Anyone got a matching 165 they would swap for any of...

I package a lot of my smaller/ cheap items in recycled cosmetic/ make up boxes as I’ve loads left over from work. Had so so many buyers of bike parts receive items but their mrs thinks it’s for them and takes it only to be confronted by a front mech. Best one was a bloke who messaged on eBay...

Looks the same as the Royce one to me. Which also fits a Hope. Royce still sell the tools for about £30 but he will insist on stinging you for £8 special delivery too which I’m still bitter about.

I’d also agree with he above. 200-250 if all in decent condition and you actually want a sale. They might fetch £300 if exceptionally mint and you find the right person. Good condition bits are still selling for decent money but if poor condition they won’t sell for much at all. There is a...

Depends on your lifestyle I guess. I personally hate waiting for parcels to be delivered so much that I have most things delivered to my parents house so waiting for a collection seems even worse with the amount I post. Plus apart from the odd bike part , we have very very little post now and...

I’m guessing it’s in the hope that’s the public get used to having parcels collected from home. Allows them to slowly close post offices without uproar in the future. And then the prices will rise.

Isn’t a lite unfortunately Lites are triple butted.

I’ll pm you the details

It is BA1 3PB

I’m still stuck thinking about having my pearl white frame (my bike from new) painted back to its original colour I’ve got the spare frame which I’m planning to build up after my metalhead but it just feels that it’ll never be “my” bike. Here’s a mock up of what it would look like painted...

It’ll be same as mine almost.

They are great frames. Just pray the BB isn’t stuck as they came with a real crappy one that really gets corroded and stuck. Part of me wishes I’d left mine standard as they have a certain charm

Was that the 97 one?

I can message the seller to try to find out.
