Wheeler Pro5080 retro MTB # 1 Background:
1994 I bought my first mountain bike, a Wheeler Pro5080 with a double butted Crohm-molybdenum (Cr-Moly ) frame, a Shimano STX equipment and a suspension fork by Tange.
So I made my first mountain bike experience for the first time on the Hahnenkamm Trails drove up and down and learned over time about the Spessart.
Lovingly maintained the MTB I have always performed minor repairs and maintenance themselves, so I had no problems after many years with the Bike.
After a few years ago my children were born. Now the bike was fitted with a trailer and the focus was more on trips with the family.
After some time of the MTB-drive, however, by again. Disturbingly, however, the extra pounds which I had been appropriated in recent years.
So I took the bike hard to lose those extra pounds. In one of my recent trips by Wheeler but I noticed it was closed more than I was previously aware of. The fork was knocked out and the bottom bracket creaked out well ahead. A set of new features, and a new chain, including pinion were required. In addition, the bike was not "up to date". When I then pulled on my last tour with a ramp to Solhöhe (at Lohr) a shifter, I decided from the Wheeler after 17 251 kilometers an economic total loss making. Since it was too bad but for the scrap, I put it in the Radschuppen where I've thrown every now and then but a look. Somehow you hang halt but tuned ;-)
Now go `s start:
Three years ago it is now again I had parked the bike.
Now I have decided me to return the bike to get into shape, and thus some nice retro-rounds go to ... and perhaps it does so also participate in one or the other kids' Cup, who knows ;-)
had I first clarify whether I'll get another fork which is still designed for cantilever brakes and also in the frame geometry fits. I read about this bike but my forge, I chose a matching fork. Luckily the wheel had been an A-head rate and thus a T1 from RST Capa mounted with 80mm travel. Is not a high end part but sufficient for future demands on the wheel. The rusted old porch was here with a new replacement of obsolete Spezialized and the tax rate. With the new fork I have laid the foundation for the bike to continue To overtake and on we go ...
ran from Falkenstein, we almost straight up on the Altkönig. Of course there are easier ways, but they do not like a lot of fun ;-)
