Sorry if I wasn't clear - This is a sealed bearing hub not a cup and cone. Hopefully the picture clarifies.

Hi - Just trying to service a hub from a 2012 Genesis Day1 Cross. I've got the end caps off and need to drill out one of the grub screws, but I'm wondering if anyone knows why the grub screws are there? When rebuilding are these tightened after the wheel is fitted so under lateral pressure or should they be tightened first (which I suppose would hold off some of the lateral force on the bearing)?

Can anyone educate me on this?

No problem!

Serial number from BB is A4xxxx which according to the link below makes it from 1990 and the first year listed of bikes form that division

I'll bear that in mind if I end up splitting.

Complete 2007 Surly Steamroller size 56cm.

Whole bike is in pretty excellent condition as it was protected with gaffer tape from very early on. Removing that lifted the decals but as I understand it a new set isn't much.

Bar tape is new as is the chain. Only minor damage is a small whole on the back of the saddle.

Looking for £400 collected from Reading. Happy to meet at Reading station if it swings a deal.

( Have a new 16t Freewheel and compatible rear brake available if needed )

Hi - I do have it still yes. Put some pictures fairly recently on the Surly Steamroller owners... thread.

PM'd re Surly Tuggnut

Had time to convert my recent acquisition a few posts back to single-speed and remove knackered decals. Now to actually ride the thing.

Just picked up this 2007 56cm that looks pretty stock. Great condition as protected with tape from new so although that's lifted some decals when removing the paintwork is lovely.

I've got a 2007 56cm complete in amazing condition but I've no idea what it's worth and sounds like more than you want. LMK if you're interested in full bike.

I thought so - Wrong time of year maybe!

It's been a while but I sold a few bikes and bits on here a while back. Now I have to make some room so have a pretty good light retro frame converted to run single speed to move on.

Has a Reynolds 531 Competition frame and 531 forks. 56cm frame so would suit someone I'd say 5' 8" to 6' foot. Paint has a few chips but no rust or dings

Mostly Shimano 600 Tricolour components - brake levers, calipers, cranks and hubs. Think it's from about 1989.

Has a Campagnolo Aero Seatpost, leather Turbo saddle, Cinelli Stem and Cenelli Criterum bars and some DMR V12 Mag pedals.

Front wheel is Campag Ypsillon rim on Shimano 600 hub and rear is a Mavic rim on Shimano 600 hub. Both have Michelin tan wall tyres.

Collection from Reading and looking for £120.

Any questions please ask.

I've got a set from a Giant Defy I could let go. Think they're Giant P-R2 or something like that ( can check this evening ) in good condition and 11 speed. Would need collecting from Reading though.

Hi - what size seatpost does it take?

PM'd re Shimano PD M520 Black

The Honey seem to be available at Halfords for collection.

I Searched for stock in Reading and all three closest stores showed available and I have one to collect tomorrow:)

Would have prefered black but still.

Hi - I'd like some of this please should you get any more in.

Thanks

Hope this is the right post for this.

I've got the chance to buy this German VSF FahrradManufaktur bike but I don't really know much info on them so wondered if anyone here did. I've checked out their site but the only have it in German. The bike doesn't seem to have any markings other than the brand so I'm not sure of the model.

I guess you'd call it t a touring bike. Very solidly built, has Shimano nexus hubs (HB-NX30 dynamo hub at front and a SG8-R20 at the rear).

Any thoughts on these bikes and how reliable the Nexus hub might be? It makes a slight click as I cycle so could this be a sign it's on the way out?

Thanks in advance for any info/advice.
