shimano dx’s

if theyre over 2 years old (and theyre silver} id change them next time you have it in bits, pawls too(you do clean it out and regrease it regularely dont you ?). if its newer than that the springs should be ok. pawls and ratchets do wear over time though so you should replace the pawls every now and then depending on use. :wink:

thanks stu. if anyone happens to have, or see, the2010 hope calender the 5 is pictured being ridden by hope owner ian weatherill on the november page (spooky or what?). note the “ride the alps” sticker on the swingarm. this bike is totally unique so if you see it being dragged around the local council estate then please get in touch. £100 reward on return
