I'm struggling to find info on the web as to their travel. The closest thing I can find is: <a href="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/revolution-cadence-sport-09" rel="nofollow">http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/revolution-cadence-sport-09</a></p> <p>It's the cadence sport, but it claims 100mm of travel on the forks. I'm happy to go from 100 --&gt; 120mm, but not so much from 40mm!</p> <p>Is there anything written on the forks to identify them? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9843#post-106695 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 11:49:33 +0000 Baldcyclist 106695@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@Rust, definitely isn't disc mounts on the front fork. There 'may' be on the back, there are mounts of some description which don't look like they are for mudgaurds etc, but also don't look like the mounts I have on my CX commuter bike, I have taken some photos of the 'holes'....</p> <p>Image 1:<br /> <img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BG67qCJCUAAw06g.jpg"></p> <p>Image 2:<br /> <img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BG68NPBCAAArhg1.jpg"> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9843#post-106623 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 14:40:01 +0000 rust 106623@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've got a set of old discs and calipers kicking about and a pair of 120mm forks - been meaning to put them on a relatively cheap mtb for the gf.</p> <p>I maybe wouldn't be too pessimistic about the disc mounts as the upgraded models of the cadence came with discs and I would guess they'd use the same frames for both. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9843#post-106615 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 14:09:30 +0000 Baldcyclist 106615@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@rust - honestly don't know (MTBs not my thing). I *think* the travel is ~40mm (from some interwebbing), and I *don't* think there are disc mounts.</p> <p>I will check, and confirm tonight, but tbh (and probably doing myself out of any potential sale ; ) ) even if they are there, the cost to upgrade to discs on a bike of that cost/spec probably isn't worth it, unless of course you already have all of the bits and just need swap over wheels, callipers etc.</p> <p>Cheers,<br /> Mark. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9843#post-106585 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 12:08:24 +0000 rust 106585@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>How much travel is on those fork? And, does the frame have disc brake mounts? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9843#post-106581 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 11:46:18 +0000 Baldcyclist 106581@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>OK, OK, sorry folks I've never really sold bikes before... ;)</p> <p>Did some checking last night, and the bikes are 4 years old, bought in Feb 09. Stated millage/usage is correct though.</p> <p>The ladies bike is actually branded a 'Cadance', and not a 'Cuillin, only differences being the colour, and the Cadance has a slightly shorter stem.</p> <p>Both bikes are 18", so probably suitable for 5'6" to 5'10" +- a wee bit, there's actually quite a lot of adjustment in the seat post. I'm 5'6" and the seat post is a good 5 or 6" out of the frame on mine.</p> <p>The bikes are fairly basic and have:<br /> Shimano gears 7 on back, 3 on front.<br /> Tektro V brakes.<br /> Suntour front suspension forks, and cranks.<br /> Mens has £45 Panaracer Fire tires (original tires there too).<br /> Ladies has a Cateye wired computer.</p> <p>Both bikes have some minor scratches on them from leaning against each other in our old house, but other than that are practically new. Brake blocks, chain gears etc have practically no wear on them.</p> <p>Hopefully that is better info, I'll arrange some pics for tomorrow. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9843#post-106523 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 19:09:39 +0000 Baldcyclist 106523@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Tried to get Mrs Baldcyclist into cycling, failed....</p> <p>As a result I have 2, 3 year old (I think) Revolution Cuillin mountain bikes sitting in the garage gathering dust. His is blue, Her's is red. They cost £250 each, and have both done ~50 miles. His also has Panaracer Fire tires that cost £45.</p> <p>Reckon they must be worth half price? PM me if interested.... </p>
