Hi @DieMelkman

 

I assume that is a std hub width 29'er fork?

 

If so, what are you wanting for it please.... I need to get back on the bike again and the SS needs a starter fork.

Anyone have a 11 speed Shimano shifter lying around that you're looking to offload?

I have a Suntour XCM 29" QR non-boost available for free for anyone who needs it. Located in Paarl, but happy to ship if you pay

Hi all, I have a LOOK Carbon road frame size 57 cm, Model 675 RD with the integrated stem 120mm available. The problem is that the fork drop outs have been damaged. I understand that these can be repaired or conversely replace with an aftermarket fork. Included are the handle bars , Shimano BB and LOOK seat post. Failing the condition of the fork this frame would make somebody extremely happy.

@INDABUSCHE Any chance I can take this off your hands?

[theRussian]

If Kev does not take it, I will be delighted to take it for BOMB Centurion. 🙂

Anyone have a 36T chainring that is a direct mount kicking around that they want to get rid of?

Im wanting to “try” one out before buying a new one.

[Jensie]

Let it go or one more try???
Soooo, I took a gamble and bought a Mavic crossmax wheelset for cheap. Replaced bearings, was easy, serviced freehub. mounted tyres and took rear wheel for a spin. NEW chain, cassette and chainring. Wheel spin baie mooi....freehub is slipping(ID360). investigate....freehub ratchet is worn. open again clean and try again, still slipping. So replace the ratchet(R760 from Merlin cycles) and try again or replace hub with new. Any thoughts? 

[BuffsVintageBikes]

Try find a 2ndhand freehub first?
