Good day. Where can one get a  bleed screw for ultegra r8020 shimano shifters? Bought a shifter set from a hubber but one was missing a bleed screw.

Your LBS should have, SKUY0C698030.  Agents have stock

Hi All

I'm looking for a charger for my bike light batteries - has anyone got one they no longer need? Often the batteries die first, but not in my case. 

I have those pretty generic 4cell lithium packs with velcro straps and a cable and plug.

Thanks!

edit: preferably in ct southern suburbs, otherwise I can organise courier too

Maybe try Extream lights they should be able to sort you with a charger.

Sure, but by the title of the thread I want to find a free one that would have otherwise been thrown out with a dead battery/light 😜

I am looking for a Sunrace M90 left hand crank (non-drive) only, to fit a square taper BB.  Sad story of failed removal ending with an angle grinder.  Please let me know if you have one, happy to buy but struggling to pick up through retail.  I am in Paarl.

Hey guys, I'm looking for a Polar V800 watch strap as mine just split apart.

So if you've got a broken/ not working watch that you're looking to get rid of (or sell) I'll be happy to take it off you and pay for Pudo...

Let me look in my draws tonight... my faulty V800 with new strap should still be there.

Will PM you.

UPDATE: Strap found & pick-up arranged

I might be able to assist, depending on what kind of charger you need.  I'm in Kimberley and I'll just need to check if I still have mine.

If you are interested, DM me.

You'll struggle to find one I think.

An entire crankset with both arms and chainrings is only like R700.
Shout if you need help sourcing one.

I have one from a Sunrace M600 crank.  170mm long. Free plus shipping.

Thanks David, Nick has sorted me out. Much appreciated.

Hoping for a family who’s kids have out grown their half wheeler.

I have an old CycleOps PowerSync ANT+ smart trainer for a refurb project or parts donor.

It's in working order, but has a bit of a wobble on the roller (I presume a bearing that is shot, but not sure if easily serviceable). 

It’s rideable and resistance works but results in some vibration… feels like a road bike on rough tar. 

For collection in Lakeside, Cape Town.

Hi Matt, 

Could I please have first option. 

Will DM you.

Thanks, Johan

I did post this on the salvage thread as well - Free to collect in the east rand area, I have never had success with it.
