I hear you, valid point. At this stage it would be cheaper if someone wants to swop.

I saw that they do have axle kits now but its also an exercise in weighing up the costs. Something like this: https://www.cyclemonkey.com/blog/tech-talk-rohloffs-through-axle-a12-hubs

Hi Guys. Would anyone here consider swopping their 135mm dropouts for the new 142mm dropouts? From what I could find on the web these should be standard Tange/IRD dropous and should be interchangeable. I am seriously considering this frame but I need the 135mm to run the Rohloff.

This is still for a QR mount bike but yes they are scarce. Might do the shim thing.

Does anyone know know what shop might have one of these in the Pretoria / Midrand / Johannesburg area? Been battling with a brake alignment and I think it might be the mount? Something like this https://www.parktool.com/product/disc-brake-mount-facing-set-dt-5-2

I also vote for the cargo bike. They are the most stable from a centre of gravity point of view. If you dont want to go the route of buying one, you can always build one if you have some time. Very nice walkthough below. http://imgur.com/a/DAijq

I also second the Qbond. I had a mavic rim with the same issue a few years ago. Used another epoxy type but didn't work too good, in the meantime I discovered Qbond and used it a few times in other applications.

These arrived yesterday, will fit it tonight. and due for a ride this weekend.

Update: - The brake bosses on the DH3 did not work, thread is correct but it has an extended part to work with the fork. Ordered the correct bosses from Germany and should be here in about two weeks. -Drivetrain installed and seems to be ok, will know for sure once you put power on it. - Played around with the Marzocchi to see if I can get another 5-10 mm to increase the crown to axle to suit the frame better, I used a spring from another marzocchi and it looks like I was able to get it about 8mm higher - The Dia-compe brakes I have is totally worn out so need to look for some V-brakes, anyone have some shimano's or avid's"lying around?

Brake bosses was the issue. Figured out it was an M6 size and maybe the bosses on an old Marzocchi Dh3 I have might work. If all goes well she will be rolling this weekend. I want to do a sticker set in the late 90s look, any recommendations?

Best investment in this regard is the parktool chain scrubber, +- 2 min to clean the chain. For the rest of the bike a big brush and spray bottle cleaner. Never a pressure cleaner only hosepipe. Takes about 30 min to clean all my bikes. Only consumables is 5l engine cleaner from Midas that costs about 140 and lasts 6 months +.

I always have one of these in my laptop bag. No damage but creates some work.

The Bomber is in a really good condition and I really want to keep it for the look. Only issue is the bosses though. Will post more details / measurements soon.

Hallo Everyone The newest project being built up. What would you do on a build like this? Full retro or combination? Kona King Kahuna 2007/8 Parts from a 1998 Kona Kula. Looking for the rear brake bosses if anyone has this odd size lying around. Any other good quality (XT/XTR) 8 speed stuff that anyone wants to donate / trade (coffee or beer) will be appreciated.

Hi everyone Found this 3d print and got someone to print it, will see if it works this week. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:155513
