Thanx! I’ve got it moving after some oil and gentle loosening. I’ll try to get the ring off the old shock, which was even more seized, and that can be used as a template. Will report back. Thx.
Hiya all!
I’ve just fitted a new rear shock to my delta V and I can’t shift the spring tension adjuster collar. Anyone got a tool for one of these that they’re willing to part with please? Thx!
Hi! Apologies for the late response. Just seen this. I found one in that amazing Swiss bike shop I wrote a couple of posts about. It was just the right side crank and full chainset, so now I have some spares as well. Thanks again! Always appreciate your help and support.
Recently finished Delta V. It was a bit of hassle finding a new headset bearing and it’s awaiting its new rear shock, but apart from that, it has been resurrected!
On behalf of the RSRC (made up society of the Royal Society for the Rescue of Cannondale’s), this is the latest cheap eBay find and which will be rebuilt with HeadShok Moto forks.
Hi! It’s fine thanks. I don’t mind the wait knowing at least that I have a replacement. Many thanks for the offer to be the ‘Distribution Centre’ though. Appreciate it.
I bought it. The seller doesn’t ship outside the US so it’s gone to Phoenix where I’ll pick it up in October. Until then, the current one will have to do. When it is eventually replaced, surgery on it will commence. Many thanx again for finding it.
As you’ll see, it is finished apart from that shock. At least I’ve rescued it from an eBay box of frame parts and found that weird sized bottom headset bearing with the help of this community.
