Ok I just picked up a complete set(Levers,calipers,rotors,all the hardware) of a Hayes 22MM Disc brakes off of ebay.It looks pretty much brand new. The owner...
Cool... Let me know how it works out. I have a Gary Fisher Joshua, but get along great with the V-brakes. But I am curious about how easy it would to...
Aloha Nate! Right now I am in the process of looking for disc compatible rims. I do know I need the 6 bolt pattern type hubs.Since I am getting a new rim set I...
A 9 spd conversion is dead easy, but not cheap. You need a new hub, a new cassette, a new chain and a new right shifter. You can get by with a 7/8 spd FD,...
Just to edit my post below, you don't need a new hub to go from 8 spd to 9 spd. (My conversion was 7 to 9). (But you're getting a new hub anyway.) ... Joshua, ...
So your 7 speed chain ring works with the narrow 9 speed chain no problem? From: trekybikes@yahoogroups.com [mailto:trekybikes@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of...
My Joshua is already been upgraded to 9 speed, with later XTR groupo, and my wheels are Mavic Crosslands that have a rim surface for the V- brakes, and has the...
Hello, I'm building up a 2001 Y-22 and am in need of information pertaining to that front derailers are compatible with the sub frame and also if anyone has an...
Aloha All! Thanks for all the information! I just installed a Fox RP3 today.I must say what a difference compared to my old rock shock.Air is the way to go! I...
I should qualify my answer: on my old rigid MTB from the early 90s, which still has a Deore DX crankset (7 spd), I have 9 spd working perfectly with the...
Thanks so much! That was my only sticking point. From: trekybikes@yahoogroups.com [mailto:trekybikes@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of artemidoru Sent: Sunday,...
Alright, here is my current story, I have a late 90's Y3 that has the chromoly rearend. I recently bought an aluminum rearend on ebay, and now have in a shop...
Found it on this website's main page through archives. Its a Shimano BB-LP27 (73x113). My apologies if I got someone off their seats. Nate ... since...
Nate don't forget to compensate for the BB mount for the front derail......will add a few mm to the shell to shell distance............. ... From: Nate...
If you use the bottom bracket mount derailleur which is called E-Type derailleur, your frame or swingarm have to be design to accept a E-Type (BB mounted)...
Hi, Ok the new style bb are alittle different, they are not to hard to align. With the e-type front derailler should work fine! I'm pretty sure in the picture...
It will, but it will be at an odd angle and will need tightening on a little more carefully. ________________________________ From: trekybikes@yahoogroups.com...
Heath: I use a Thule rack. One holder goes just behind the stem of my Y22 and the other just in front and under where the seat post comes out of the frame. I...
They sell a bar that clamps to your stem and seat post that acts as a top tube of a normal bike. You can then use any type of bike rack that a standard bike...
I have used one of those special bars "Alternative Bicycle somethings" that clamp on the seat post and the handlebar stem then clamp that bar in the without...
This is a Hollowtech II crankset, isn't it? If so, just put it on in the standard manner with a single spacer on the drive side, or else an E-type FD in place...
Thanks Frank, didn't know I had to match e-type derailuer to an e- type BB. Will keep an eye out for that while I am shopping local bike shops. Nate ... to...

Nate, it is easier than you think. For a current Shimano crankset (Hollowtech II), there is only one basic type of BB. The crankset comes with three spacers....
My bike is still in one piece and I do ride it. It currently have the e-type front deraileur on it, but when shift down to smallest chain ring the chain is...
It should work. You would simply use none of the spacers. ... the e-type front deraileur on it, but when shift down to smallest chain ring the chain is pinched...
May I ask whats the reason for using E-type derailleur on Y swingarms when its was not design to use them? What benefit would you gain? The newer bearing cup...
