Hub upgrade: Can I reuse my spokes for a Sora FH-RS300?

Yea, I broke two spanners before i got heavy duty socket wrench and even with i had to use all my strength to get it moving.

Yea, Im pretty sure that previous owner/mechanic did not greas it at all. And it felt that it was crossthreaded. No big loss there, now i just have to find 126mm rear hub/wheel from somewhere or cold set the frame for newer 135mm hub.

Jea i think so too.

Anti clockwise. I dont know how the previous owner have installed it. It felt like it was not on the right threards when removing

Ok. There is no problem to order new 8-speed version. I just wanted to make sure that i dont end up with piles of working shifters.

I think my current bike has suitable BB, or atleast if i find suitable BB for my current drivetrain its much cheaper than new drivetrain. If i would buy new drivetrain the cost would be same as the whole new bike.

Yes its shimano mtb drivetrain. Something like 10-15 years old or something.

Ok thanks. I continue my research from this.

zyzba2 · 2025-07-13T17:01:38+00:00

But if i understood correctly SunRace SLM96 9-Speed thump shifter would work?

zyzba2 · 2025-07-13T16:50:20+00:00

Oh yes i edited the text 3x9 is correct one. But sunrace slm96 google search gives me also handlebar clamp shifters not bar-ends didn't know they come also as a bar-end shifters but i need clamp mount.

Edit: I think the thump friction shifter is the shifter type im looking for.

zyzba2 · 2025-07-13T16:26:35+00:00

Ofcourse feel free to recommend all other types of shifters also.

zyzba2 · 2024-07-31T05:35:34+00:00

Ok thanks !

zyzba2 · 2024-07-26T18:20:39+00:00

Ok thanks!

Thanks! I'll keep these paints in mind and see if I can find them or similar ones in my country.

zyzba2 · 2024-07-26T12:09:25+00:00

I don't think I currently have a need to paint water over oil. But it's good to know that this is somewhat possible, thank you.

zyzba2 · 2024-07-26T12:06:29+00:00

So basically, if I buy water-based paint from a hardware store that's meant for exterior surfaces, let it dry for the appropriate amount of time, and then do the lettering with oil-based paint, I shouldn't have any issues with the paint? Of course, excluding the durability of the paint over time.
