Hi, I have a collapsed 26er fork for rebuild or spare parts (20cm steerer).  Free to collect in Helderkruin, Johannesburg.

Good morning, All, I am building up a commuter bike, kindly donated by @RobertWhitehead, I need Road bike tires in any condition, maybe 9 speed road shifters and pedals(plastic ones will do)

 I'm assuming the build is to donate to a commuter? If so durable tyres in good condition are probably the most important part. If you DM me your details I'll donate R200 towards the cost of two new tyres. I've found the Chaoyang kestrels to be bulletproof commuters but they're 35s. 

How about these:

That is correct, our Security guard was Bike-jacked in December and he is now riding a "cheap" almost not riding bike, appreciate the help - DM sent.

If they will fit the frame, I have 2 x 38c Spez Armadillo commuter tyres (not tubeless) complete with reflective strip for you, in great nick. But I can only give them to you probably second week of June as the one is still on the bike and is waiting for a Temu delivery for me to be able to change that tyre out to something bigger.

Thanks, All, Seems like I am sorted with Tires, Thanks to @NC_lurker for the cash contribution and @Spinnekop for maybe getting me some Contis for the build.

May I have 2nd dibs for this. Also building up an old road bike. I am in Centurion.

Anyone have a 29er non-boost fork they're looking to sell? I have a build in need of a fork, it can be QR or thru axle (I'm not picky like that). I will obviously buy it 😁

Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing well.

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this (I couldn’t find a triathlon-specific one), so please feel free to point me in the right direction if needed.

I have a young athlete who’s really eager to take triathlons more seriously, but unfortunately, he doesn’t have a tri suit. He would likely fit into a men’s medium or large – I can share his exact measurements if needed to compare with a size guide.

If anyone has a tri suit they’re no longer using or would be willing to sell at a reasonable price, I’d greatly appreciate it if you could get in touch.

Best regards

@RobertWhitehead Did you come right with a fork?

I think I still have a QR 29er Fox lying in my stash somewhere that I bought some time ago for a project bike that I never got around to. If you still looking then I'll go search for it.

That will be fantastic if I can get my hands on a QR fork, then I do not have to rebuild the wheel

I'll get back to you tomorrow 🤙
