Not quite sure what you mean by coaster hub, but you can get a 20T freewheel sprocket from Rook:

A coaster hub is a pedal brake hub, those BMX style screw on sprockets won't work unfortunately.

Does anyone have some valve extenders lying around? I need two for some deep V wheels - pretty please 😁. Willing to part with some beer coupons or Zim Dollas 

[Irvin85]

I would go to my LBS now and buy some Valve extenders if I can have those beer coupons...

Do we get long brass valves locally, or is it just aluminium ones?

[Stavros94]

Good morning all ! 
 

so I have this project I started that I need to sell to fund some other bits 

mavic wheels (some damage but perfectly true and definitely more than good for a single speed style like I was going for here) 

the frame had a old flaky paint job on it so I stripped it down. 
 

bars are cinelli, 

Seat is a selle italia Ferrari edition 

has a 600 series headset 

alu seat post 

some bontrager tyres 

open to any offers really can ship and box. 

 

would anyone be interested?

If I'm not mistaken the Conti ones are brass. Had set on my previous set of wheels which I completely forgot to take off when the insurance collected them. Needless to say any attempts to retrieve them went terribly so just wrote them off basically.

Is the angle of the saddle possibly the reason you are looking at flogging this bad boy .

Are you looking to sell the rolling chassis or part it back down again?

Seems finding a new one in stock is impossible. 

Thanks

I am looking for a set of brake levers for V-Brakes for a commuter bike to replace ones like this in the photo below. (Sorry focus is not lekker). If the calipers are available I could use them too.

The bike is a department store special that I donated to my gardener a while back. But I also supplied a free "maintenance contract" 🙄.

The barrel adjusters on these levers slip and loose all cable tension. One fell off and got lost so that brake has stopped working altogether.

I am located in Cape Town southern suburbs. I am happy to contribute towards shipping or component value.

(I should really find a replacement bike. But if I do, I know this one will get passed on to another commuter. So best the brakes get fixed first.).

Strangely enough I recently got a bike from a friend with one carbon and one alu Roval 🤔. I have yet to decide what I am going to do with either. Maybe you can make things easier for me
