Grebel not sure if its the same one, but we fixed my friends took a lathe and turned a old bolt into a new fitting.

His has alen key on both sides, one side into fork and other to expand it in place. Expansion one got stripped in his case.

On mine, it is the thread on the axle itself that screws into the fork that is damaged. There is enough to get it to bite. It has an internal (10mm allen socket on the RHS.) I machined up 2 stainless inserts and used a rear QR skewer. Plug goes in each side and the skewer pulls the whole lot together. (Along with the axle of course!) Been like that for a while now and holding strong. Raced a whole season with that arrangement.

I have this thing. Its 'new' and unused. But must have been stashed for over a year.

Got it from my folks in Oz for an experiment that just never materialized (don't ask) Maybe it can be of use to someone.

I like coffee beans and other stuff too

Popcorn skollie, I am after a shock like that for an ancient mbt tandem.

Is it still available?

2 boxes of popcorn or two nice coffees are awaiting the exchange of hands

Hey guys.

 

Initially a bit hesitant to post here, seeing I have such a low post count. But is there anybody with in the Cape Town area that has something similar to this

its for my avalanche, 3x9. A bit tight with cash, so not expecting new or top notch items. Also need a mechanical front brake caliper. Mine snapped off. Lemme know what price you guys looking at.

 

Thanx

Sent you a pm

Giant Lock on grips, used and worn, not torn, still comfy and not a sticky mess - to swop for a good joke, collect only, won't ship anywhere. Bargain if I've ever seen one. I won't judge you for being a cheapskate, only for being a good comedian.

Chainrings - 9/10spd big rings PCD 104mm - to swop for two flip top Grolsch's each, but collect only. Truvativ Trushift from a Firex crankset - very little use. Shimano LX ring, one tooth missing from a rockstrike, still works fine, loads of life left otherwise - also great alternative ninja star, sadistic frisbee, or surprisingly effective handsaw.

I thought I'd just post this in here as well. I'm needing support to build a bike for someone. Please help...

 

https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/164880-i-would-really-like-to-get-somebody-back-into-cycling-please-help/

 

Although I really need some help, I feel a bit as if I'm misusing The Salvage Thread-Is there a separate thread for this perhaps?

 

This thread gets a lot of attention and views though, hence the post...

Check out Eldrons post. Something you can use?
