Wanted - various MTB bits (a list)

Posted on
  • As everyone seems to be hopping on the retro-MTB project bandwagon, I thought I'd do the same. Looking for:

    • 1x chainset (EDIT: sorry, not helpful at all - HT2 compatible please!)
    • Mechanical disc calipers
    • Sus fork (100-120mm travel)

    Probably other bits to be added at a later date...

  • Bring me a beer and you can have these RST Hi 5s for free to mess around with.

  • I have a Truvativ Firex? crankset, GXP bb, which i think i have one knocking around....

  • Suntour forks with lockout from a boardman cx comp
    And some shimano mechanical disc calipers
    Also loads of other mtb bits

  • This is going to look like a very negative response, but...

    @ffm - that recall notice worries me, will give it a swerve - thanks though.

    @MDavies - sorry, looking for a Hollowtech II crankset.

    @broken_777 lovely, but out of my price range.

    @MrBRM - will PM now.

  • White price range are you in?

  • Way down to be honest. I can get hold of a new Deore 1x for about £50, so that's roughly where I was... (obviously the XT is very nice though!)

  • @ffm - that recall notice worries me, will give it a swerve - thanks though.

    Yeah it's not ideal is it?! From what I can work out though it was due to the lower crown clamp on some forks having sharp edges, which caused a stress riser in the stanchions. The clamp on these appears to be properly chamfered, which would avoid that issue. Probably safest to give it a miss if you're planning on the gnar though.
