Look on temu, they had something similar for a good price.

I’m a massive Temu fan but in this case we want to go with what we know 😃 My second hand Thudbuster has served me so well for a couple of years now.

Long chance but anyone have a L left Shimano PD M624 pedal laying about? 

[Jono]

Anyone perhaps have a spare Shimano piston from a 4 pot caliper? I’m looking for the smaller piston. Broke one when doing a rebuild.

Or even a scrapped 4 pot caliper would be good, don’t mind salvaging the piston myself.

Looking for a Shimano shifter bracket. The one that fits on the shifter and attaches to handle bar. I stripped the thread. Based in Jhb.

Have a friend in need of a Shimano XT, rear hub axle, Non-boost, 12mm through axle Hub. His hub axle snapped, Shimano doesn't have parts, and his budget is very limited.

Other options if anyone has an affordable complete rear wheel or just a hub 

29in - Non boost - 12mm through axle - Shimano HG drive - 32H (in case of hub only)

Im looking for an ant plus usb dongle. Im trying to get an old tacx genius trainer connected to my pc with FortiusANT software on github. The trainer dont have FE C capability and Garmin dont support the trainer anymore but a few clever gentlemen made a plan to make it work. I have hope to revive the old dog but dont want to buy a new dongle yet as it might not work. I am sure somewhere, someone must have a dongle not in use anymore as many newer trainers moved over to bluetooth. Willing to buy it from you.

If someone does not heed to your call for help, maybe consider this?
