SB6943 would make it a 1984 Ilkeston according to Neil McLean.

I have SB8117 which would be a 1986 Ilkeston and it also has original mudguard eyelets. It is a road race frame.

Interested. Got any pics

You can see similar round markings on mine but maybe not as pronounced. I bought this cassette second hand as shown so no idea if the previous owner had his RD adjusted properly or not.

I compared mine to an image of a new set of 17-19-21 from an onine store. The teeth do look to be narrrowed down on both forward and backward facing edges but I don't see any sign of the hook or shark tooth shape you see in worn cassettes. I'd estimate the width of the teeth are reduced by about 30-40%.

Replacement cogs cost nearly the same as a full Miche cassette so I've got a Miche on order.

Cheers. Here's a couple of pics of mine. Was surprised to get skipping on these as I thought not much wear.

I have a similar problem to you on a Chorus 11 speed cassette. Skipping on 17-19-21.

Would you mind posting a photo of these 3 cogs to show the level of wear.

In my case the wear does not stand out at all but skipping is really bad.

I have a Campagnolo type freehub from about 2012. I'm trying to buy a new pawl spring for it.

The campagnolo part number is FH-RE114 and it has been the same part number for a long time even though I believe the thickness of the spring changed in 2013.

I've seen several sellers and some buyers mention the diameter as being approx 24mm.

The thing is the spring I have has a diameter of 20mm.

If I could just walk into a shop and buy one I would because they only cost a couple of pounds but with postage and everything it adds up.

I'm pretty sure a 24mm spring won't work as the spring needs to compress on the pawls to make them pop out.

Does anyone know what's going on here. Is it possible to get a 20mm spring? Did some manufacturers make their own freehubs that require proprietary springs. There are no markings on the freehub but it is mated with a Cole hub exactly like the one pictured.

Thanks. That’s extremely helpful.

Thanks all. The people reporting cracks weren’t abusing them from what I gather.... just riding their bikes.

Yes, have heard about tyre clearance. Some people can’t get 25mm tyres to fit depending on tyre/rim combo.

Will have to think carefully

Thanks. Am happy with everything really but just did some last minute checking up on SISL2. That’s when I found those horror stories about cracking. Jesus. I’m more old tech than this weight weenie stuff. Should stick to what I know.

Were the failure rates on these cranksets high or am I just reading about the tiny percentages

I've never owned a Cannondale but was thinking of buying a 2015 supersix. However reading up I see lots of complaints about creaking bottom brackets and SISL2 cracks. I'm having serious doubts. Can't inspect bike.

I was going to suggest a price for the seatpost but there seems to be a gouge in it that is deep enough that it won’t sand out. Can you post a better closeup photo

Have to agree. Have been on the lookout for this seatpost. Two sold on eBay recently at <€50 in quite good condition. You will see several with asking prices significantly higher but they don’t sell.

PM me if you are willing to drop. I’m willing to pay similar to sold prices on here from past sales.

Have any spoke tension gauges left?

Beautiful bike. Did I see this on the SKT a few years ago?
Think Stephen Spratt raced on one similar to this

Started looking at new prices online and am in two minds. So can’t commit at the moment. Sorry

Ok. What state are the bearings. Any play in them.

Interested. Would you post

Would like the TM-1 ok condition. YHPM

I’m 100% sure it’ll just need a good soak in WD40.

So what's stopping you. Or is it that you would prefer someone else to take the risk.

In the review section although that might be referring to a different item.

I have one of these and they’re very handy. Ad detail indicates pre-owned in contrast to pics that give the impression of new.
Would be very tempted if genuine.

Good suggestion. Checked it and it's good and tight. No lateral play in any of the cogs.

Well I spent a good 15 minutes tweaking it and I haven't managed to make it much better. It's not out by much but in some cogs I get a little clicking that tells me it's not perfectly aligned. It never fails to find a shift correctly though.

Only thing I can think of now is to thoroughly clean and lube the drivetrain and then possibly consider disassembly of the shifter for a clean and lighter regrease.

After that it may be a new chain and cogs.

Bought the cassette from new and it was shifting perfectly through all cogs with a Centaur 2011 PowerShift Lever.

Here are the cassette details
Veloce 10s cassette
12-13-14-15-16-17-19-21-23-25

I only switched it out as I wasn't happy with the Centaur left shifter so switched the pair out to Record 2004 that I picked up second hand. I had to put a new G spring into the right shifter.

I will try fine tuning the shifting again but it shouldn't be this hard. Had no problems adjusting the previous setup.
