I have a lot of spacers but I can recall they're mostly 2mm. You're welcome to a few

Thanks Robert. I managed to find a set on the classifieds.

I’m looking for some v brakes if there are any floating around. 
Bonus if they are Shimano. 
Please and thank you.

I am looking for SHORTY aluminium race-bike mudguards, for a vintage bike I use, partly to achieve  ‘the look’, but also for Winter riding.

Cheers, Chris

Anyone have one of these upper steerer tube clamps bushes laying around/for sale ?

Does anyone have a left hand brake lever for a Shimano Deore XT (M8000 or M8100), 4 piston brake set?  Happy to take new or used, and pay courier costs.

 

Thank you.

I'm looking for GoPro folding fingers to try to mount a light on a Forza stem mount. I assume the folding fingers can be removed from a disused/damaged GoPro? I have also placed a wanted ad.

I have a GUB 693/678 bracket not sure this will work for you. You are welcome to take it and try.

Hi. Looking for a seat post shim. 27.2mm - 30.9mm.

Willing to pay. Need it before the weekend.

I have one on order (although this one will be 27.2mm - 30.8mm), but will only get it next week.

I am in the East Rand area.

Please educate me on how the shim works?

I may be able to assist 

My 2nd question:

Why not just use a 30.9 seat post?

Those are stem shims for Spez multi stem not seatpost.

No Idea how those shims work.😁

Regarding your second question. I am fitting a Redshift suspension seat post. It is 27.2mm. It came with a shim, but it is 27.2mm - 31,6mm.
