go ahead and add them dw, i might have found something here in italy, not sure yet thanks though

pic?

thanks, they look nice. i ll have a look at what i can get in the next couple of days and let u know

👍

ok cool,, thanks

yah i know ;) im a bit on a budget and the frame ive got it s 90s, and even though im not opposed to create a rat monster (planning to make it fixed gear), i've got the feeling i'd be crossing the line with those

can you still send me a pic of those? Im in italy atm and I ll be here for a while though

at the moment Im looking at anything really

nice

yeah that s the one I was looking at, cheers anyway ;)

oh really? wait im confused now, the Velosolo (which is the one I was looking at) should work the way I stated no? from their website:

"Converts a mountain-bike to fixed in the easiest possible way. Flip the wheel round, bolt on our cog and ride. No other expense involved and reversible in a couple of minutes."

I want to build a fixed gear stumpjumper '91.

I found very old posts (10 years old or so) not only here but on other forums as well about disc mounted cogs.

People in those posts wonder if they are safe to use. i wonder, 10 years after, if those are still around (being used by people) and people still going on them, as I found some online still up for sale.

(for people that are not sure what Im talking about, these are cogs used to convert a disc brake wheels into fixed gear)

cheers

Hi,

Looking for a mtb fork 26 wheel size. 1". straight blade forks. threaded or unthreaded, rigid

thanks

Yes it is that seller. I made an offer for it, and got it for quite cheaper that the price it was originally.

thanks for the info.
Tomorrow just for the sake of it, I'm going to try to see a frame builder (I'm in Italy). but at this point I don't have much hopes and most likely I'll be returning them

ok....it pisses me off so bad, i ve been looking for a straight blade unpainted vintage forks for so long arrghhhh

ok guys, thanks for the advice i appreciate. I sent an email to the seller and he said that he was told it just needed to 'rack and paint'. Not sure what 'rack' stands for (english is not my first language).

He told me that I can return it but he suggested that I bring it to a bike shop for repair and he ll pay me the repair. Maybe tomorrow I'll pop by my trusted bike mechanic and ask him.

Thanks anyway

I bought this Rossin fork on eBay..might have screwed up this time.

You guys reckon is this safe to ride? it seems they gave up the job of welding it properly and sanding it?

Aesthetically i don't care, it s for a super ratty fixed gear. I just wonder if this is actually safe.

Thanks a lot

haha actually I never asked myself why they would be always rubbing stuff down , it makes sense now..

I'm slightly concerned that the oil and rug system would work at the beginning, but with time I'd be afraid of water going through the steering tube where I won't be able to see what s really going on.
Also I was reading somewhere else that the clearcoat would eventually wear off and leave a yellowish tone? I was reading this on an old post on another forum, not sure

yeah but my question is, how do you stop it from becoming rust aka an issue? Will this become an issue eventually right?

actually I found this

maybe this will do?

Hi guys,

I was looking at this pic

https://i1.wp.com/detourblog.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Kevin_Squid_NYC_Outside-e1542068421678.jpg?w=2000

and I'm actually about to buy a vintage unpainted fork that has got a bit of patina to it. I'd like to preserve it as it, without painting it.

How can I achieve this?

thanks a lot

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks

Sorry at the moment I cannot ship and would rather try to sell on collection, since I'm moving country and have lots of things to figure out - but I can get back to you in a few days and see how I'm doing and if I can manage
