PM incoming

I collect and wash plastic takeaway curry tubs for general work trays and degreasing duties. After being very disappointed with some cycling specific citrus degreaser I've been using methylated spirits to remove the greasy grime, then a final rub over with GT-85. Old toothbrushes and...

Wonderful! Can you PM me please?

Interested in these but I don't think I can PM you as I'm a newbie. Are the wheels still available?

I feel your pain. Going through the same thing with my Middleburn RS-3s on a Trek 990. But have discovered they need a 122, however the chainline doesn't seem right so I now need to faff with chainring spacers... 😭

I have repaired my RS-3s! Thought I'd post a quick update. I got a helicoil kit off Amazon for £17 and bought some fresh stainless M3x10 bolts (but with a torx head for more secure tool fitting). I was going to get an engineering mate to drill out the holes with his proper pillar drill, but I...

Ahhh! I did wonder. Thank you @Once A Hero so much for posting the link to that catalogue, it's amazing! RS-3s they are indeed. Looking at the position of the bolt holes I think I'll only be able to tap the two nearest the crank arm as there isn't enough material around the others. That may...

@Once A Hero Oh, I read that they were interchangeable on another thread somewhere. It was RS-1 to RS-2 that didn't work. This is my drive side arm... I was sold them as RS-2s. Can anyone confirm that is what they are? (I also read on another thread that RS-2s were flat... along with the Earth)

I did think metal fatigue on the threads would be the culprit. The rest of the cranks are mint, so I think I may get all four holes helicoiled and get some new bolts. Do kind of wish I had never removed the spider, but it needed a clean and I wanted to make sure the bolts were ok (kind of glad...

Thanks! I'll do some research, helicoil kits look cheap enough, but I don't want to ruin my cranks!

Hello, this is my only my second post, but I've seen some very good advice on here, so I am wondering if there are any Middleburn fans that can help. I recently purchased some very nice Middleburn RS2. I took the spider off to clean them up and when reinstalling it, I carefully tightened each...

Ahh, shame I was after something that would take (or I could shim down to) a 27.2...

Nice looking frame. Do you know what size seatpost it takes?

Hi there, long shot... do you still have these?

I stumbled across an image not so long ago of a great looking ahead top cap cut in the shape of a 45rpm record insert. Apparently these were originally on older GT bikes but I can't find any images or info to support this, other than a Taiwanese eBayer advertising them as GT top caps (image...

Bought a nice Control Tech stem. All good, arrived safe and sound. Thanks!!

If you still have this I'm interested :-)
