    As per the title, 26" mountain bike wheelset. Quick release and disc brake compatible. Needs to be able to fit a 9 speed cassette. It's for a budget build, so nothing too pricey. Thanks

    For sale: 1 pair Shimano XC3 MTB shoes size EU44, used once , original box and in excellent condition.

    When I purchased the shoes I forgot to size up one size from my normal shoes. I used these shoes on one dry road ride and because of the light indentations on the sole from the spd cleats , I couldn't return them to the retail seller. I'm using the same shoes in size EU45 now and they are...

    E-MTB - Errosion damage ?

    Many won't like this, but from a ride I did today with 4 other 'poor fekkers' on analogue MTB's, was that trail centres are getting over run by electric two wheel go carts ! Today's 10 miles took us quite a while, about 2.5 hours with our legs only. We kept catching a bunch of e-MTB riders...

    Wanted: 15" MTB Frame

    I'm on the lookout for a 15" MTB frame, either for 26" or 27.5" wheels and disc brakes. I want to have a go at building a bike from the ground up over the next 6 months or so. Ideally less than £100

    Wanted MTB frame.

    I’m after a mountain bike frame for 26” wheels with discs for my son. He’s out grown his Giant Trance advanced so I’m looking for a medium 18” frame to build into a new bike for him (he’s 5’8”) I will consider a hard tail or full suspension. I only need the frame. I will also consider both...

    Update: Aged MTB - convert to 1 x 10speed?

    Declaration: I know nothing about mountain bikes! My aged Whyte 905 MTB needs a bit of drivetrain TLC - rings, cassette and chain all need replacing. Current setup is Sram X9 10 speed shifters and mechs, 39/26 x 11-34. X9 cranks (will accept a direct mount single ring) I’m considering going...

    Retro MTB reunion

    This is more retro than vintage, but anyway… I bought this Saracen Dirt Trax second hand in the late 90s - it was my first ‘proper’ MTB and was used as such. It eventually got usurped by a newer bike and was relegated to the back of the shed. A few years ago a friend had his bike stolen - it...

    Elite MTB 750 ml Water Bottles

    Just wondering if anyone knows where I can get replacement cover caps? Only ever use bottles with cover caps,however I am now the proud owner of four perfectly useable bottles with broken caps. Emailed Elite about 10 days ago & have heard nothing back. Don't want to bin them,as that's just wasteful.

    GT LTS 4000 Full Suspension MTB

    Hi all A mate has a GT LTS 4000 and is wondering what’s it’s worth. I have no idea, so thought I’d ask on here! I’m thinking 1998-ish? It has RockShock front forks and Shimano STX 8 speed rear derailleur. Condition is used with a few scuffs. All works apparently and is complete. Any ideas on...

    1" steerer MTB suspension fork for 24" kids bike.

    My sister bought a bike for her lad for £30. It is quite decent. However, the front fork is seized solid. No amount of force by yours truely could budge it. So does anyone happen to have an old pair of forks, or some off a scrapper they can salvage before chucking it? They are 1" steerer...

    Should I get a road bike or gravel bike instead of a mountain bike

    Hi everyone. I have recently got back into riding. I currently have an old rigid mountain bike with 15 gears and 26 inch tyres. I have been increasing my distance and I do realize that being a bit overweight and starting from scratch I will be a bit slow. When I am out on my rides I see a lot of...

    MTB pedals on a road bike - should I change?

    So I put mtb pedals on my road bike last year, first time with clipped in. Like them and did this as wanted to be able to walk easier when not riding. However this year I have noticed the outside of my right foot will ache at around 10-15 miles. Nothing too bad but enough for slight discomfort...

    ***SOLD***Pair Ritchey Logic MTB Brake Levers.

    These were on the mixte when I got it, powering the Weinmann 730 calipers. As far as I can research, these were designed for cantis, but they do work well with calipers generally, just not the rather poor Weinmanns. Not spotless, cosmetically, but otherwise OK. Tenner delivered.

    SORTED: MTB levers for cantilever brakes

    Am hoping to do a little favour for a non-bike-savvy friend who has discovered that plastic brake levers don't exactly inspire confidence. He rides a Raleigh MTB of similar type and age to my 1998 Raleigh Max. I do have a pair of Chang Stars, but they're for side pull calipers of a decidedly...

    Fitting MTB Chainset to a Road Frame - 5mm too long!

    Looking for some advice after making a rookie mistake. I do touring with panniers each year on a road bike. Used to have mechanical triple at the front which was a godsend on a few hills e,g, Tor Head. I then got bitten by the Di2 bug and 'upgraded' to a compact. I love Di2 - pure indulgence...

    Spotted a mtb for sale, Boardman 8.8 mht 2019, anyone have experience of this model. not many reviews online and the drivetrain 1 x 11 Sram NX seems to be in scarce supply and scarily expensive.

    Using an Android phone app to follow an mtb route

    Hi, I have a old phone and being a tight g1t I am wondering if I can use an app on it to navigate a route rather than buying a bike computer. So with audio notifications if you go wrong etc. Is this something Strava offers - I'm having a look but I must be missing it as I can see lots on how...

    Looking for a compromise between a £1000 Boardman SLR 8.9 road bike and a £125 Halfords Apollo MTB.

    Having done quite a few very blissful miles on the Boardman but reluctant to do the daily commute on the same bike, I'm looking to upgrade my seven year old Halfords Apollo commuting bike to a better spec. I'm happy with the geometry of the Apollo but the drive train and build quality isn't...
