I'm having trouble fitting my XT front mech to my Y22 - can anybody email me a close up photo of the front mech set up as I think I may have the wrong design...
Yup I had the same problem when I had to change mine out. And it was nearly impossible to find a replacement with the same bracket size and bottom pull. I...
Have to add that I think that it should be very easy to find a replacement - there are a lot of traditional down-swing/ bottom-swing FDs on ebay, for example....
Early Y22s (and 11/33's too) require a top swing, top pull 34.9 mech. Most Shimano mechs are now 34.9 and will come with reducers for smaller frames. You would...

I recently purchased a y-22 and replaced the blown alps 4 shock with a Fox RPs. The problem I am having it locating the bushing/reducers to properly fit the...

It's a common problem you have, one I had when I replaced my Y22 shock with a Fox Float. In the UK certainly, we have several options, of which I know that...
A good bike shop should be able to turn you a set of reducers on a lathe - it's a simple alloy structure. If you get desperate, phantom cycles in Australia...
Neil, I still haven't gotten around to measuring everything properly on my Y33 (haven't got hold of a Vernier caliper!) so haven't had a chat with TF yet......
Most new shocks now come in the 'smaller' size and the manufacturers supply bushes appropriate to the frame mount for the shock. Even if you brought new, you...
You're confusing the terminology, Neil - the bush, plastic or metal, sits entirely in the shock eye, while the reducer is the alloy "top hat" that, in a pair...
You may well be right - however one bike shop in Australia does not make it 'most good bike shops' around the world. Indeed in the UK, many shops are small...
After reviewing your replies and searching more on the web, I've identified that the piece I'm searching for are the reducers. Sorry for the confusion, I'm...
Actually I just made my own reducers to adapt a RockShox MC3.R to my 1997 Y33. That's the easy part... the MC3.R is a very large shock, and with it's lockout...
Yeah sure, I'll post them to my photo album for my Y33 http://picasaweb.google.com/lotusse/TrekY3397 and I'll have CAD drawings too. ... my ... floodgate ... ...
Which part number Shimano XT Hollowtech II crank set will fit a Y- 22? If I choose a different brand, what size requirment should I be looking for, or are...
Chris, I was looking at my arms and the model number listed on them is model LX fc-m563. Thank you for the offer though. -Randy ... From: "Chris Yuan-Farrell"...
All Shimano Hollowtech II cranksets are "one size fits all", EXCEPT for the crankarm lengths. The axle has a fixed length regardless of bottom bracket shell...
What are the specs of the shock you've used? I'm really interested as I have a '97 Y33 almost identical to yours and the Stratos shock has pretty much had it....
I'm currently running HT-II LXM580 (22/32/44, 175mm) on my Y as they're a real bargain at the moment (~GBP 50) The XT equivalent (XTM760) is ~GBP 80 which is...
I think, however, that the effects on the handling of the bike will be less pronounced than you would fear. Certainly a set of big tyres would create more of a...
Cheers Neil, I'll certainly do that. Thought I was onto a winner the other day as CRC were listing an '05 Float R with i2i of 165mm and stroke of 50mm. TFT put...
I agree with Neil in that I think you are overstating the consequences of moving to a "modern" 165/37.5mm shock. With the reduced overall length, the dropouts,...
Excellent. That's what I like to hear; people who've actually tried it and it works! The search for a replacement begins... ... obsolete! ... further. ... ...
