  1. Have you checked the hanger alignment out of interest
  2. If it's holding air, ride it๐Ÿ˜ˆ I did have a rear Spank rim that starting cracking and pulling through at the nipples, so they not immune, but still like the product. Replaced with a more affordable rim which I dinged 2 rides in! Straightened out, holding air and I'll ride it till its properly wrecked!
  3. @Jbr what hub have you got? I have experienced this with DT Swiss 3pawl hubs for instance, there is a spacer tube over the axle, over time they compress just enough to cause binding. First time I replaced it, problem solved, 2 years later, same issue, chatted to my local mech and he handed me a very thin spacer washer to take up the space left by the material compressing... apparently next time it happens he has another slightly thicker washer
  4. 27.5 is not going anywhere. Much easier to get 27.5 equipement then it is to find decent 26. Doubt the upgrade from rim to disc would be worth it on an old frame, rather put the money toward a more modern upgrade from the classifieds. Most bike shops will carry so v-brakes for you in the mean time. A couple good options given above. Setup of pads is quite important for correct operation and better longevity.
  5. Many manufactures will have a demo bike available, chat to your local bike shop
  6. Quality on the Chinese ones can be a slight issue. This one is one of the better ones, steel and welded. I'll drop you a message privately.
  7. Anyone selling one of these before I go new.... no more learning the hard way!
  8. Sure I've got just the QR lever for that in the bottom of a box if needed
  9. Missed all the big boys thankfully, but we did have a decent sized mole snake on the road at the ticket office this morning. The season has begun
  10. Go Teng Tools, buy the 1/4" version and use any existing set you have or can get from any hardware store. Can also buy a 1/4" to hex bit adaptor. A good 1/4" rachet set is never wasted any way The 3/8" set linked is a little trickier to match bits too.
  11. @thebob try Stoke Suspension Works they had a bin of old wrecked Reverbs, if they can't get the parts maybe they have in the bin for you?
  12. Unfortunately not. Only just got my hands on one of those newer C1 posts recently. Have a B1 post as a donor unit, but that also has a connectamajig attachment
  13. Does anyone have or know someone with a Brezzera BZ99? Bought one cheap as chips with a pump snag that need sorting out, otherwise in good condition, so thought I'd take on a project. The previous guy fiddles and took stuff apart, so want to see what they look like under the hood, make the puzzle slightly easier.
