I know @TVS Cycles had a few broken ones a while back, but I am sure he would want something for them.

@TVS Cycles  nice guy and always open for negotiations.

I think I might need new pulley gears... these are wearing kinda thin.

Thinner than my wallet on the 331st day of Jan 2025...

Thanks gents.  I have spoken to Thomas.

 

They have working wheel ON units.  Well priced for others that may interested !!

 

 

I am looking for a non-working wheel OFF unit.  It is purely to mount the bike while doing a bike fit.

 

It is purely an experiment at this stage.

 

 

 

So if anybody has a broken unit taking up space ....

Maybe give Buycycle a call, they are the agents and might have some dead ones in their workshop

Hey gentleman. I am looking for a Reach adjustment screw for my SRAM Code brakes. I broke my one so looking for a replacement.  Anybody have a broken lever or set hanging around for parts maybe?

I bought a set of Isla Bike wheels (Stans Crest) the hubs were 28H, but not smooth and heavy, so i replaced them, I have unused set of hubs with HG FreeHub, but they are super heavy and super rough, so if you dont find anything suitable them these are a good fall back, I'm in Somerset West

@Dexter-morgan

in my (totally unsolicited) opinion, don't put training wheels on a bike for kids to learn properly. You don't learnt to walk with crutches, you just go for it and fall down a bit along the way.

My grandson, is shy of 2 years old, think it's a bit early.
