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 ...
