Hubbers Helping Hubbers

[Butterbean]

Ok, so the recent thread with the needy guy, and Oom Dips' CAPITALIZED idea, I thought this thread would be a good one..

 

So here's how it works. Don't fill the thread with useless comments. This is for Hubbers who can't afford to make ends meet when it comes to simply riding a bike. There are loads of us who save our asses off to buy stuff like tyres or a new chain, and simple things like gloves or lube really makes us turn to two minute noodles. We don't so this because we're bad with money, we do it because we get paid peanuts but love a relatively expensive sport!

 

So this is what you do:

 

If you have any items you feel could go to a better home, post a description. If you need something urgently and ARE HONESTLY IN DIRE NEED, post a message. No soppy stories please!

 

ALL REPLIES, HELP, ETC, MUST BE DONE VIA PM! NO DIBS, NO NOTHING, PRIVATE MESSAGE IF YOU NEED OR CAN HELP WITH ANYTHING!!

 

please respect the sanctity of this thread, and should you be aware of anyone who is faking a need for something, alert administration who can remove the post.

 

We have so many willing and super generous Hubbers who would be happy to help those in need keep the pedals turning.

 

AND NO ONE NEEDS A PINARELLO DOGMA. KEEP THE NEEDS TO NEEDS, NOT WANTS!

Perhaps a post limit would be a good idea...

 

However, I feel that too many rules with deteriorate the thread. If you have something to give, you make up your own criteria for a real need.

 

I'm quite sure we'll get a few chances and real douchebags, but at the end of the day, you decide who you help.

 

Let's hope it helps someone. They may not be poor, but may just need to get on the bike that week and we have the part to help.

Here. I'll get it started.

 

I have a main carbon seat post. I won't use it and won't bother selling. It's 27.2 and is a little short, so if you have a shorter post height, it'll work.

 

You can email me for pics on jossturner@gmail.com.

 

Again,if you REALLY need this part, it's available.

 

Collection only.

This is awesome! but I give my stuff to divernic towards the build-a-bike foundation. Will see what I can contribute to this one though

[DJG]

have a set of Merida branded MTB grips (standard ones) and a new 9spd Shimano road chain, or might be an 8spd chain not too sure, but if it can help someone, feel free

[Butterbean]

While I'm sure these items may sit for a while, please also remember to edit your post should the items be gone Thanks guys!

[SurferChild]

Very basic, but a start.

 

I have a set of mongoose lock on grips. Newish with only a few rides and with scratches to the lock on area. They are nice and thick though just too thick for me. Colour black

 

Collection in Table view or town. ...but pm me as we can always make a plan.
