Morning

I am looking for a needle in a haystack.

In desperate need of a Shimano ST RX810 diaphragm (RHS)

If anyone has an old GRX shifter or diaphragm lying around, please pop me a DM.

Thanks

I have this Bianchi alu/carbon rear frame available to anyone wanting a restoration project or salvage the head badge, dropouts or rear triangle. It measures 56cm centre to centre but I would say closer to 57cm.

Crack has been repaired ... at the painter now (miskien vandag nog he says 🫣). 

Just a slight mod to the paint scheme, don't want to change too much. Plans being put into place but in essence a single speed TT bike I'm thinking 🤔 

Time to put hang the 'uniballer' frame up me thinks so it'll be the donor for most of the parts 😀

Thanks again @Loose cog, nice to have something to focus on for a bit

Guys, I'm looking for a broken SHIMANO DURA-ACE FD-R9150 DI2 Front Derailleur 2x11-speed that you are going to throw away. The reason being is that my housing is cracked and there is a small piece of plastic that has broken off.

Its working 100% but I'm worried about getting water in and causing damage - hence I only require the housing from a unit that is not working.

These are not replaceable parts - surprisingly - and I have not been successful in finding 3D print files for them either.

The last post as I'm sure most have no interest .... certainly not going to waste that's for sure!

Just tie up some loose ends, sort the magic gear and it'll be in use!

Glad you were able to make use of the frame.

Hi all. Am looking for a broken RHS GRX hydraulic shifter. Need to hijack the RHS lid Unit / Diaphragm and fixing screws/spacers. 

Am trying my luck here before ordering from oversees as seems nothing can be sourced locally.

Might not look pretty, but could you not put a piece of black insulation tape over the crack?

Looking for a working RHS SRAM Force 11spd shifter. (or any other 11spd Sram shifter) Condition does not matter much, it must just be 100% operational.
