try heating the arm with a blow torch,not near the b.bracket then use wedge or and make a puller

wheelpro built 819's into lefty hub(virgin wheel builder) months of rocky riding still true
take youre time,threadlock the cups

08 xt dual control levers £60 at crc bargaintastic

thanks for the offer DeeW but the lx calliper is a straight in connection
thanks for the help people will probably buy this kit though it doesnt make it clear if the compression nut is compatible

Pedros syn lube ,local grit means wash bike after each ride, so dry and relube chain each time ,let oil soak in, wipe before ride.Cheap and cheerful for me. whip chain off once fortnight-ish shake in spirit re-oil.I think local grit kills chains more than lube saves them !

Evans suspension centre will supply parts :D

wow need a pair of .024 outers though idealy prefer the set
inners needed .023 and .024 pair of each
bearing strips and a lefty boot (crossing fingers)
did you get them new ? or Ebay recently?

thanks mathew ,tried them but they wont sell me the parts I think cannondale won't let them, also tried tony at thumbprint same story grrr!

30miles around Hebden bridge strong winds stinging rain laughed (manically) cried (was solo)bloody great

look nice sacrificial shorts for the winter grit thanks for the heads up

peddaling it now as i type :wink:

built the stand and used 6mm ply for the drop outs they wont last forever though at least a couple of years.A great cheap stand

switched to bolt in on a prophet with 717 rims no noticable difference.Built some 819 rims that made a subtle but noticable difference through rock gardens and ruts.

can I have one too please
dalebutroid<at>talktalk<dot>net
unless theres a link you could post?

try Noah's Ark for the washer they have often posted hard to find cannondale bits,BETD for bearings

formula made a lot of the omega hubs
if its ball bearings youre local bike shop should have them

+1 for swampie, on the front high roller rear, in Calderdale its rock and moortastic!

not keen on gin is vodka ok ?

glenh- WOW will have to give them some concideration the rollers have been spot on for local stuff, not much mud loads of rock and hard pack

realy looking for info on the wire single ply on the 819's

doug-was hoping that was the case,trouble with real ust is cost, struggle to keep up with running costs(kids clothes food).Wire rollers=cheap.Riding mostly rocky with hard pack I suspect youre lot are easier on there tyres than my slower point pedal and hope method of riding :|

the one you have the most fun on

does the rim strip just help with the initial inflate ?
running them tubed as I have just built the wheels.They certainly take some getting on and off .Was thinking single ply.Might try the rear first,pressure wise around 30 psi

get the 3years a bike my 3year old (billy) been riding for a while
if its road stuff a trail-gate (tow hitch thing)

you will have to split the fork to measure the inner races.most likely just need a bearing swap. Not rocket science,which year/type lefty? you will need bearings -£15ish seal kit £7ish. If you lift the boot can you feel wear in the inner races? The outers contained in the upper assembly are usually all the same size.At a push you can turn the lower races around just make sure you know the position of each race they are specific to there position

what about sapim race ? JE james do black for 66p each though they are 14mm nips good if you need a few sizes

I have done the same, eased it back with a screw driver

Its the Park tool,hopeing you get a reasonable absoloute tension reading as this is my reference.Will try to check tension.Decided to go one size spoke for the back and two for the front.This being my first build wanted to keep it as simple as possible.Onzadog if you read this then thank you for youre help and I owe you a pint.

Roger musson used 14mm as its easier to get a key on the nips this being my first build I wanted easy, though the lefty and 819's probably not the easiest :roll:to start on
can you remember the spoke tension ? does 80-90 kgf sound about right

taka if youre going to Tons majical mystery tour I will bring mine along. its the Roger Musson one

dont think the 12mm is any good for the 819 as the nipple cups need a minimum of 14mm

would 16mm nips help?
(shameless bump)

yeah buying the wrong spokes is what i wanted to avoid.Thanks for the advice

used the wheelpro where do people get spokes the front need 2 sizes can you split an order from crc ?

I will have a go at this
is the pecket well decent in ?
