You're a scholar and a gentleman! I'll DM you 😎

I would have offered to ship it up with my wheels from Jewbacca but you’re in the deeeeeep south compared to Centurion.

Thank you very much for the very good Nic rubber Mr Steady sir. Looking forward to getting them fitted to something 😊

Looking for a Derailleur hanger extender like the one's Rapide sells ... don't want to buy one yet as what I'm trying to do may not work!

If it does work I'm happy to pay for it or return it and buy a new one from Wayne 😎

Fanks ou's

I got one for you, not using it, and I'm much closer to home ... :).  DM me.

I am looking for an 11-40 cassette (11spd) to test on my GRX rear derailleur .
Shimano says 34 is max, but other clever people that you can B-Screw the hell out of it and it works!

A new one is R 1700 and that's an expensive trial and error process.

Cheers

1 boss battle away from the end...

i am hoping someone possibly has some old v-brake bosses lying around.
maybe if you have a bike with disc and v-brake mounts and could go without the vee bosses/posts.

will pay!

i was changing brake arms and the pivot unscrewed with the arm, then i messed up the thread trying to extract the bolt

Thank you, that would be excellent.

Attached a pic of the brake mount, and from the net. 

Appears bolts come in m8 and m10 bolts, and I should be using m10

So the M8 refers to thread on the inside of said bosses? Here's what I have here with me. Getting them loose from the frame however is almost impossible.

Does anyone have a sram shifter clamp for a Sram Eagle shifter? 

Willing to pay of course.

Any luck? I might have a set for you. Just need to measure the thread.
