Trackside Posted February 26, 2014 Share Hi all, I have two guys that I have been helping to get proper bikes to start participating in events.They both live in Cullinan and commute by bicycle daily to Pretoria to work. The first guy, Lucky, has already participated in the Beast of the East, Down and Dirty, Dullstroom and Sabie. I am very gratefull that Bestmed has contributed to entry fees, transport and accommodation and to Chris for the Felt bike.After the conditions of Dullstroom and Sabie his drivetrain and brake pads are cooked.Can anyone help me with a 10 speed chain, cassette and chainrings? The crank is a Truvativ (not sure about the model) The brakes are Shimano disk brakes. I will also appreciate 26" tyres with decent life left in them. His wheels are tubeless but we can use non-ust tyres if we can get some. The second guy, Mlongise, got a Scott Aspect 40 FOR FREE from a fellow hubber. However the lockout of the Suntour schock is broken and it is stuck in lock position. It is a spring shock and my LBS says to send the shock to Cape Town for repair may end up costing almost as much as a new shock.I saw that CWC sold a shock like that for R500 on the hub recently!!!!Can anyone help with a 26" shock or know someone that may be able to help with repairing the lockout?The bike is fine for commuting but I would like to get him to some events and for that he will need a working shock. Thanks Edited February 26, 2014 by Trackside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
