    Why does my headset rock?

    Hello all, I recently fitted a new FSA Orbit MX Aheadset to my Marin rock springs (with triple stanchion Manitou X verts), and I still have a slight rock/wobble present in the forks - something I’ve had before. The wobble is when you apply the brakes and rock it back and forth, it’s not...

    Since my other thread got deleted - Gary Fisher Aquila 97 update

    Just todays updates, no idea where the original thread went. Fitted some LX/Mavic 221 wheels from Le Grand Fromage, X lite stubby bar ends, my very useful lock and Billy Bonkers tyres: Zapped a bit of handling due to weight I guess as it was on slicks and some nicer wheels. Plus the lock.

    Has anyone had an inner tube explode?

    As per the title…. I’d just fitted it with a new tyre, seemed to be seated well and after about 5 minutes it blew up with enough force to push the tyre off the rim! Just unlucky or did I do something wrong?

    You know the plastic thumb screw which sits over the cable guide insert which screws into the rear mech to guide the cable in but also adjust? I need both / all inc spring. Not sure if they are “Common” parts or available aftermarket?

    Really basic saddle alignment question (really basic!) & some cable routing guidance/knowledge share - Peugeot Control 500

    I’m sure I’m being stupid but how do I (or even can I?) get this saddle more level? Yes I know it’s ugly it’s for my step daughter and comfort is the key (although I may have gone overboard). I’ve tried to use the “cam” adjuster to get it more level, but I think I’m at the maximum? Have I...
