I still have my 1994 Marin Pine Mountain - it’s in bits as the BB is seized in. Been like that for maybe 20 years 🙄 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shrops-paul 245 Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Can you fit the octavia bump stops without dismantling things? I don’t want to mess up my blink geometry etc. ta Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamR 2,332 Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Yep. No need to reset geo. @Ben(EBD-ENG) - new hub time sadly, can't get cups separately. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They appear to be just pressed steel. Maybe time to fire up the lathe I don't want to spend too much on the bike. Its an old bike and I'm not entirely sure if I have time to even ride it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamR 2,332 Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Yeah hardened and ground though. You can perhaps convert to a sealed cartridge bearing... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is also a bit too knackered for proper rides out these days! In fact . . . . . . So am I ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
