The "I need something you might throw away" thread

[Rolf Hansen]

I am in need of a complete 29er front wheel, preferably with tyre but without is perfectly good. Most that are for sale are for compete sets of wheels.

I only need the front as it is for my mullet setup - 15mm TA Boost to fit my Manitou Magnum 34 fork. I currently have a 27.5x2.1 on the back and 27.5+x3.0 on the front but the fork can take a 29" wheel up to 2.6. The plus size works great but for any kind of distance the extra weight and rolling resistance is killing me.

Willing to pay of course but I cannot fork out R3k+ for a wheel so looking for something 2nd hand that won't break the bank.

Your bike looks badass with that 3.0 tyre on the front. You can also hear you coming from at least 100m away

Sounds like a TIE fighter on hard pack. 😁

I can only help you with a non boost 15mm TA front wheel 🙄

Converting a flat bar single speed commuter bike to drop bars.

Looking for a pair of old school road brake levers, no shifting needed. Or perhaps STI levers that no longer shift. 

Happy to pay, thanks.

Then, I have 4 x 29inch tyres to give away - used of course. 

2 x Kenda 29 x 2.2 (fast track type tread) - about 60% tread left. No plugs in either tyre

1 x Spez 29 x 2.3 Renegade (control casing) - about 40% tread left. No plugs

1 x Pirelli Scorpion M tyre - only done 1 ride on it of 103km. I had to insert a mushroom plug into the side wall at 90km distance. 99.8% tread left - probably good for another 3000km if you dont mind a mushroon plug in the side wall. 

PM me for collection arrangements. Im in the northern burbs of jhb

Hey everyone, I am in need of the triangle for a Giant Anthem X1 26er. Now I know, the guys from Giant already told me that the chances of me finding one is slim. But hey, I can only try. It is the piece that connects the rear with the frame and shock as shown in the image. 

 

I do not mind paying.
