It's too bad that the industry changes the bicycles standards so often, it really makes it hard to find quality spare parts for older bikes, like 26 inch wheels and tires. They no longer make the spokes for my wheels and the bike is just ten years old and works great.
@jesseladd6864 Жыл бұрын
There are always spokes out there unless you have a specific Mavic or I9 etc combo. Be resourceful. Tons of companies still make 26” stuff and the second hand market has loads

right.!! I have a 95/96 Specialized ground control. full suspension. and my problem is upgrading the forks. can't find a replacement that can operate reliably.
@motov8-garage832 Жыл бұрын
@@ericb4608 can always run 27.5 (650b) front shocks. It should work with 26" wheels no problem. May increase your head angle a very small amount but the 26" wheel will offset that a bit. Just got to make sure you have the right headset (which can also be changed to work with whatever just about). I'm all about 26" for dj and freeride, I've researched parts swapping semi old bikes alot..Some say certain things cant be done, I say there just lazy or never tryed..

I, too, love the love for these 'outdated' bikes and that Renault tribute finish, c'mon now, too much fun and the fun of it all. And one of these days I'm gonna build up a gravel bike in the colors of the NASCAR 1994 Ford Quality Care Thunderbird driven that year by Lake Speed and prepared by the famed Bud Moore team in South Carolina. Such a cool car and I got to do some photographic work for the team that year.

I was hoping to see a Big Hit on here! So cool! I had a 2004 Specialized Big Hit and it was a blast to ride. It was extremely heavy compared to today's bikes, but I could drop off anything with that bike. I would go do urban assault around Minneapolis and Saint Paul to find things to gap and drop on that bike because we really didn't have anything in our area for such a big bike. I ended up selling it after a couple of years simply because I didn't ride it much.

Specialized status is probably one of the most underrated bikes out there, it's light and poppy for a dh bike and can soak up tech at the same time. They also go for under 1k on the second hand market. P.S Even Commencal is using the status linkage in their furious and clash

You can still buy newoldstock deraulliers mounted on the axle, but you need to pay attention if it is the one that matches you axle and frame. Because there were several combinations. Coil springs for 38mm 888 are not that hard to find. Of course depends what stiffnes you are looking for... But overall it is easier to get them than 35s.

This spring I purchased a 2008 Giant Glory 0 from a garage sale to take on shuttle / bikepark rides. Has the original Marzocchi Bomber 66 forks (that I need to get a bit of air into), SRAM x-7 drivetrain, and Hayes Stroker trail brakes. Has a rear shock that drop through the downtube. She's a medium size with the wee little 26" tires, as opposed to my large 29'er Fluid that I ride normally. Such a different feel riding her. I have to get some chain guides b/c she sometimes sounds like a jalopy on particularly choppy runs. LOL
