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 

If you are getting ride of it I would be happy to take it. Could you PM some pics?

Have you decided what you are doing with the rim yet?

Hoping for somebody can help ....

 

I am looking to buy a second charger for a Giant e-bike, 2019 model. Thanks to loadshedding I may need 2 chargers for a 3-day stage race.

Charger model number - GL 1270 C

 

Kindly note the plug type in the attached photos.  THIS seems to be main change between the different model chargers.

 

 

PS - I have placed a WANTED add - https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/e-bike-frames-and-parts/643851/wanted-2019-giant-e-bike-charger

 

PPS - I have scoured the Stolen section and reached out to a number of people who had their 2019/2020 Giant e-bikes "re-distributed" .... Some VERY helpfull people !!!  One has a different plug type, another cant find the charger, may be gone or hidden very deeply .....

 

 

This is clearly a bit of a grudge purchase, as I "may need" it if we have bad loadshedding at Augrabies .... so any help in sourcing a 2nd hand unit will be greatly appreciated !! 

 

 

I will be monitoring my Hub messages   More contact details on the Wanted thread as well.

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.).

Just a follow up on this.

Thanks to the generosity of Lieb47 this bike now has working brakes! So you no longer need to panic if you see it behind you in the traffic.

It now has new brake leavers and calipers. I also replaced the cables and fitted a new chain.

I have a Rockshox Reverb droppper post that failed. Available to anyone that thinks they can rebuild it, or that requires it for parts.

30.9mm diameter. 390mm length.

No lever or cables. 

Is this still available?

Hi Gents.

Before I bother going to try and find who/if anyone actually has stock, I am going to try here 1st.

I am looking who for one, Yes, ONE white Velotoze High Shoe cover. I have a "pair", wore them once, as I got home slipped on the rough brick steps outside my house and the one ripped completely, So looking for one to complete the pair if anyone else has perhaps also had a mishap with theirs.I did make contact with the last shop I knew of in CT who had stock last year but they have no more stock.
