Anybody have a decent pair of 29" rims they want to sell? Looking for something for my brother, his bike has some crazy skinny rims that flex if you look at them hard enough, even a complete wheelset, QR non boost for a reasonable price..

I have a pair od Deore XT wheels . Message sent

I am looking for a busted up 4 pot shimano caliper. My one ceramic piston shattered and I would like to make it whole again. Normal 2 pot calipers does not work as the piston is bigger 😄

can you take a photo please. i have the same issue 😄

It was quite a rush job just before a trip (Mrs already sitting shotgun) so could be neater but....it works so well never bothered to change.
You only see it if you are quite tall and looking - otherwise invisible and works 100%

Do any of you have a Spez Epic FSR pivot bolt? The main one that connects the chain stay to the seat tube? I need one and Spez concept stores scare me

If you can not find one anywhere you can take the old one to an engineering shop and they can turn one out for you on the lathe. I had a tricky axel that I could not find anywhere for my old SS commuter and found a guy who does performance car upgrades that turned one out for me.

Just give me a shout if you run into trouble and I will pass on his details.

Problem is I don't have an old one to replicate. I'm busy putting together the 20inch full suss and I need to put everything together to square it up in the jig before I epoxy and set.

I need a couple of things machines actually, please whattsapp me the dudes details if possible? Some spacers, dust caps and bearing riders.

Ok finally got my old cassette off the bike:

OD:  36.5mm

ID:  33mm

0.95 mm Thick

I'm still looking for this spacer.   Surely there must be someone that replaced their Shimano 12 speed cassette by now?  This spacer is used on all the Shimano 12 speed cassettes (Deore, SLX, XT & XTR) just in different positions.  Shimano Part Number: Y-0GX00300 or Y-1X400300.

Please, if you have a worn out cassette, I only need literally the smallest component on it (apart from the low spacer on the XTR).

I have a Wheeler frame with a stripped hanger (its fixed to the frame) I wanted to use it "some day" but I doubt it's going to happen 😁
