Well if it's cheap enough you might even be game to have a go at putting a small crimp into the chain stays. The stays are oval without any crimp, and you'd only need to gain a couple of mm to make it workable with 28c (as it's already pretty close to enough). I've done it (crimping) before with some improvised tools, the result were a little bit bit rough but it did the job.Irish Yobbo wrote: ↑Thu Mar 30, 2023 7:46 pmThanks uart, that's exactly what I wanted to know. I was hoping to fit some slightly bigger tyres in there, but really the bike is so cheap I'll get it anyway and give it a go.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before in the thread, but I am looking for an early to mid 1980s Shogun road bike catalog and have come up blank on the Web so far after a fair bit of digging. Has anyone else found anything? OR.. hava a paper copy they might sell?

Seems like mid 80’s catalog’s are in demand. A fella on the previous page reckoned he starred in one of them but couldn’t find it anywhere online.WyvernRH wrote: ↑Tue Jun 06, 2023 7:27 amNot sure if this has been mentioned before in the thread, but I am looking for an early to mid 1980s Shogun road bike catalog and have come up blank on the Web so far after a fair bit of digging.

Hi All, not sure if this is the correct forum as its my first post so please be kind. I have an earl 90s trail breaker which I am refurbing. I have an old XT 3x10 group set which i am throwing onto it but i am having severe chain line issues. I have changed the square taper BB for a BB50 one to accomodate the hollow tech II triple cranks. Using the spacers for the 68mm BB according to Shimano makes puts the chain line so out of kilter its not funny. If i move all the spacers to the LHS non drive side (not recommended I know as the LHS now has not many threads into the BB) its still not even close to being perfect. I have also upgraded the rear wheel to accomodate a 10speed (to use XT shifters) and the rear cassette seems fine with possibly a tiny about of option to re-aline the thru-axel till the cassette will be too close to rear stay. Even if i did this I am still an entire chain ring or like 10mm out of "perfect" with the middle chain ring lining up to middle of cassette. Frame is straight and true and have checked using the sheldon brown string method. Help!

Looks 90’s to me. You can probably get closer by identifying your front and rear derailleurs. They might have a model number on the back which you can Google to find out more.

I got in contact with the distributor who sold the bike originally as the sticker was on there. It appears it is a 1998-1999 model based on their old catalogues.

Hi all, I’ve been trying to find a late 80s early 90s Prairie Breaker. I thought I’d post to see if anyone has one they’re looking to sell or one laying about not being used they may want to sell? I’m located in Melbourne. Thanks in advance
