The "I need something you might throw away" thread

Shot in the dark.....if anyone has a used but not being used at the moment old bike they want to get rid of. Please let me know. I would like to replace my garden engineers stolen bike. Any condition would be gratefully accepted. He now has serious transportation challenges and to be honest is getting a bit 'chunky', now that his source of transportation/ exercise has been cruelly taken off him.

I have one of these.  Fine for a quick release, but not meant for a through axle .... at least I have not figured out how to use with a through axle.

I do have a few options but what size do you need so that I can get one or two options

So I'm wanting to fit a Lefty to my non 'Dale framed gravel bike .... Before I get my very resourceful mate Grumpy at The Workshop to get an adapter made up for me, just wondering would anyone have one 'lying around'?

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

Thank you for the offer ! Those heavy sets are hard to maintain, but I will pop you a DM with my Contact info and will chat about it, might work.

Looking for a shimano M785 left lever. Kids right lever broke and LBS replaced with the above, now the left has gone and would like to make them match. Happy to pay or send beer.

Does anyone have XT M8100 (12s) rear derailer spares lying around? Mine's pulley cage is bent beyond repair and I'd want to avoid buying a new derailer or Csixx cage just for this simple component.

Happy to pay or send beer

If look around you can get an SLX cage sides/plates from your local. It'll fit right into the XT set up

Last time i saw the cage sides were not that expensive
