They’re really neat

Had a flashback there that hollow bolts were things my adjacent-engineering dad might tell apprentice people to go to the store for, along with asking for a long weight… or a box of 5/8ths holes
But then I am as old as recalling when things were actually made around here

Ah… PM’ing :)

:)

Polished or the black-finish version?

Am currently on a save the triple mission… but which flavour are those?
:)

Ah, that’s useful to know if I run up against sources, thank you :)

PM’ing :)

Sub’d

Think going down the 3x8 might be a bit easier (read cheaper ;)

Ah, but then I’d need a nine speed wheelset lol

Anyone have anything?
Am looking for budget parts for a touring build for familyPerson

Ah, that’s all super-helpful thanks
The bearings don’t feel too bad, slightly notchy but when I dropped the bb into the frame last night and popped a chainset on to start looking at chain lines, the thing spins really nicely - so might not need so much attention
But I might try and find that six pin pinthing anyway, just out of interest:)

Anyone ever dis-assembled a Mavic bb (the chamfer version) to service the bearings?
I managed to free one face(?) using a pin spanner to lock the thing but the other seems stuck as fuck - the big nut (which has had the faces chewed to fuck by someone with molegrips by the look) on the NDS don’t budge
Maybe it’s as stuck as it’s supposed
Am trying to service (phnarr) the bearings but how do they get parole? Freed?

Hearing it every time makes me very calm

Any have any information on them?
Have a ‘189’ f&f and a ‘231’ frame

Have had a Concorde machined to go Tout Mavic (running pre-starfish compact double) which made we wonder but this (bb internal facing) looksFeels less than the 45degree accuracy?

Ha ha, good spot!
It was also a lovely karma f&f (such an amazing fillet-based thing, think it’s a Welsh builder from the 70’s / 80’s?) that I’ve a nice full grey Xenon groupset to build up for a small family person (is a size 50/52), planned for next year :)

Terrible pictures but hopefully you get the idea :)

Am nearly 60 so anything at least that old am happy to try and rescue :)
The paint (sick fadez) and decals are amazing, so a bit loathed to loose them

Not sure on the drivetrain yet
Might look at getting the whole thing refinished / repainted tbh
