I replaced it with a SRAM 406 freehub, it looked identical to the existing freehub. Apparently these Whyte hubs are rebranded Formula hubs. The freehubs screw in with an 11 mm hex fitting, the new...

Manufacturers will specify particular replacement parts (often made by themselves) when there are alternatives available. I was hoping that might be the case here, with either a cheaper or better...

Following the loud snapping sound, the cassette spins both ways, ie; pedalling just spins the cassette. This made me think the freehub is broken.

Replacing a broken freehub (Whyte)

I have Whyte branded hubs and I've looked online to see an official replacement freehub (WHYFHUB06) is $35... Is there a way to find out if any of the unbranded freehubs would be compatible? I was...

thanks for all the input. Yes, I measured the clearances: I'm fairly sure 2.4" will fit and 2.5" as well but that would be tight. It's a 90's Marin.

recommendations for wider 26" rims / wheels?

My 26" rims are worn and will need replacing soon. It seems there are a lot of cheap rims and wheels available that are around 19mm in internal width, but wider ones (eg >25mm) with a braking surface...

I got hold of the longer bolts so I was able to fit the wider jockey wheels. After giving the gear cables a quick adjustment, everything works perfectly as far as I can tell.

You mean changing the number of teeth won't work or using the wider jockey wheels won't work?

I have bought some longer bolts so I was planning to try the wider jockey wheels this weekend, I'll...

Yes, the bolts I have are too short. I'll look into Tacx, thanks. I wouldn't be bothered about using a different brand. Also, will I get away with using one with more teeth, eg 11 rather than 10?

Got the race on, thanks for all the help! I'm about to take it for a test ride.

Is it a bad idea to put a recessed nut for fork mounted brakes inside the steerer tube? I bought a cable hanger...

I got it off thanks, I did some patient tapping and it came off within a few minutes.

I haven't attempted to install it on the other forks yet, I have an offcut of plastic pipe which I'm hoping...

Yes, it didn't make any sense: I was thinking about buying a new race and was wondering if it would fit, or if I would have to be really careful about buying a new one to make sure it would work?...

Thanks, I'll give it a go. I've sprayed some penetrating oil around the top of the race, I thought that might help for when I come to do it. The forks are the original forks that came with the frame...

Crown race guidance needed

The elastomers in my old RockShox forks have perished so I want to swap the forks out for my bike's original rigid forks. I took the caged bearings from the RockShox's crown race and found that the...
