The Salvage Thread

Where you based Josh? I'm always after old 26ers to build them up and donate them to the less fortunate. I forever have guys stopping by my garage looking for spares for their buggered commuters.

Brackenfell, Western Cape. Just saw you are in Brackenfell as well?

Cleaning out garage, have a 26" frame(I think) and some parts if someone is interested in building up a bike. Fork is not working, no clue what is going on with it. PM me if you what it.

Anyone know where I can get this bolt for an under handle bar dropper post lever? 

Apparently it also needs some sort of a spring that goes in there too? Here's a pic of the lever

Its off a manic fushion internal dropper post

Why not just replace the lever with a diff one?

Rapide has some

Thanks for the suggestion Ed, I'll probably have to go that route

Another option is converting a front shifter to a dropper remote of the cable lug is on the lever side and not the post

Yip, the lug is on the lever side - thanks for the suggestion flingwing, I'll look into that too

Looking for some of these little bolts for SRAM brakes, I know I can just get M3x10 bolts, but I would like to try keep it all original....

 

Not looking for those zef oil slick bolts, just the standard silver bolts....

I was going to build a DIY light for fun... And then life happened and it got put in a draw. Now I'm emigrating and won't get around to it. Includes P7 LED (I think it was around 900 lumens "claimed"), driver, reflector, copper base thing, and 4x2400mA ultra fire batteries. Basically would need a housing and front glass. 

The batteries alone should have some value to someone. 

Preferably collection in Sandton. Strictly no resale.

Hi. I am sure I can use it on our BOMBCenturion inisiate. Can you send me contact details and potentially an address, then I can see if I can come and collect.

Hi All,

If anyone on this thread is clearing out old parts, wheels or frames please drop me a DM or reply on this topic.

I've started a bike build up and donation initiative in the Southern Suburbs, Cape Town. Any help with parts will be much appreciated.

Willing to do shipping if not within the CT area.

Thank you, Johan

Hi Johan,

Great to start doing this in CT. We've (BOMBCenturion) been doing it for years in Gauteng. I am sure you will find lots of donations through the hub. There are a lot of CT guys hanging out over here! We are donating 2 bikes this week 🙂 

All the best!

BOMBCenturion.
