Lookng for a 7 speed cassette to go on my tourer. I'm hoping for a 32 or 30 largest cog with a nice range going down to 12 or so on the smallest. Any suggestions? I have seen the ultra drive shimano but I think the jump will be too big. My suntour VGT rear derailleur should manage 32 teeth (maybe ev...

After a few of these as the bolt heads on the suntour vgt derailleur I have have worn away so a bit worried it wont be adjustable soon, also, they are missing from my suntour sprint so this needs two also, four in total! Does anyone know where I can get replacements? Would like to replace with allen...

Why not post an ad in the wanted ads section of the forum? You'll get way more bike for your buck if you have no aversion to getting a second hand bike!

Not so much siny syndrome as 'if I don't buy that I'll be regretting it for the rest of my life'. Was on a freeads site and saw an 'Eddie Merckx' racing bike for sale in Pontefract for £200. thought, well that it's likely to be a falcon model but I'll call up anyway. Surprise surprise it was a 1998 ...

Bearings ordered! Any advice on grease? My dad had the oppurtunity to buy a whole tub of camapg grease at a bike jumble for a fiver but he never did. Always talking about it/regretting it!

What's great is everyone is obviosuly keen to get this guy back on the road. Well done CTC forum members, even you Carlp

Scrap the campag website ask, just found it under spares

Is there a UK supplier of OE ball bearings you're aware of?

Thanks for that. The diagrams are great but I can't find the hubs on the document you suggested or find the section of the campag site where I can download them. Sorry to be a pain :roll: Can you suggest a place to buy OE quality bearings? These hubs should last for a hell of a long time if looked a...

It would seem as though I used the wrong size of bearing on one side...bugger!

Not sure that's possible as the freehub seems integral. Cant find schematics anywhere :S

Hey there. thanks for your reply. There are 3 springs with 3 pawls. I placed all the bearings in, greased neatly and then slipped the freehub body through before added the cone nad nuts to the non drive side. There seems to be a hell of a lot of wobble on there, I thought I'd used the wrong size bea...

On the plus side...just discovered beer in the fridge!

Youll have to bear with me here as I've just spent 4 hours trying to tackle this problem and I'm knacked! I just bought a pair of wheels... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&item=290739360763&nma=true&rt=nc&si=kmXTGBmgxV6iGKHxMZdLRt1HCC8%253D&...
