    Muddy Fox Trailblazer Sprint

    Nice. Really nice. Bit of a unicorn bike for me, I love it. Well done. Trailblazer Sprint was originally a drop bar machine, so I guess the XT shifters were a part of the straight bar conversion. IIRC the top tube length was the same for the hybrids (or Hi-Breeds IIRC they were called in the...

    814cc Gsxr race bike build.

    Nice... I always found the SRAD forks ok, but I guess you have quite some geometry and CofG changes there over stock - in that noting at all is stock. A couple of ally upgrades there to drop the weight further still, and get the power to weight ratio up to nearly double that of a Veyron. Nice.

    814cc Gsxr race bike build.

    I think we need some more detail on that! Tubular subframe? Can we see a build spec? And what's your plans moving forward, we all know a machine like this is never ever finished. What's working well and what isn't?

    Wanted XT bottom pull f mech / 29.6 Seatpost / 31.8 Clamp

    That's beautiful. And long. And a bargain. And pretty unusual to find in the Clockwork/ Fox / Tange infinity size. Dandy1, I'd grab that while you can.

    Vintage Black WTB Chris King 1" Threaded Headset Wilderness Trail Bikes

    Price seems fair to me. Looking at his other items, the chains and grips are very reasonable too.

    Wanted XTR front mech

    This design suffers pivot wear too, making selection for the small ring tricky; even straight out the box it wasn't always good. If it's for a rider, and you actually need three rings, you'll probably need to go as mint as possible, or NOS. I've given up buying used f/mechs as usually they seem...

    Anyone have details on how the Avocet 30 cyclocomputer magnet ring works?

    Impressed with your ingenuity there! Well done you. However, from experience, we used to sell these BITD and sold loads... They look great, but I seriously think every one came back after some use. I had probably three myself as they looked great, but each one packed up in a similar fashion to...

    She’s pretty much done (for now) - Caroline Alexander’s Klein Pulse - Racing History, no less.

    Well done! I feel awful pointing it out after you've been wrestling with the post, but the Moby is back to front. Text and graduations to the front. Probably "Easton" to the rear. The clevis pin inserts from the front, with the bolt at the back. Just saying..

    I don't suppose you can remember where that front mech adaptor came from can you?

    Stiff wheel bearings after replacing?

    What Bikeworkshop said. But more likely what others have said, you're missing a thin shim washer somewhere under the freehub body, and tightening the wheel has put a side load on the inner race of that bearing. Plenty of vintage CNC hubs such as the Supereight or Nukeproof hubs utilised very...

    Workshop/Workspace... Show us yours!

    I quite like the astroturf carpet under them, quite a good idea.

    Degreaseing

    There is enough organic solvent in GT-85 or WD-40 for it to soften up the gunk and clean it up nicely.
