Re: Best front derailleur for 40T/24T double, 6 speed

I have a Shimano FD-M618 front derailleur in good condition.

Dual pull.

Clamp on with insert for various diameter seat tubes.

Works well with a Shimano Deore FC-M615 chain set
40 - 28 10/11 speed 170mm
Plenty of life left in this, some rub marks on cranks.

Re: Suspension corrected 26" rigid fork

hi

I've just done this with a very cheap £40 Marin Muirwoods eBay purchase, came with a stuck seat post that I managed to remove by filling the inverted seat tube with Coke and waiting an hour.

The forks that were on it were cheap, heavy and seized so replaced them with some lovely carbon one purchased for £60 secondhand.

Rides really nice.
