Do we get long brass valves locally, or is it just aluminium ones?

If I'm not mistaken the Conti ones are brass. Had set on my previous set of wheels which I completely forgot to take off when the insurance collected them. Needless to say any attempts to retrieve them went terribly so just wrote them off basically.

Is the angle of the saddle possibly the reason you are looking at flogging this bad boyĀ :oops:.

Are you looking to sell the rolling chassis or part it back down again?Ā

I am looking for a set of brake levers for V-Brakes for a commuter bike to replace ones like this in the photo below. (Sorry focus is not lekker). If the calipers are available I could use them too.

The bike is a department store special that I donated to my gardener a while back. But I also supplied a free "maintenance contract" šŸ™„.

The barrel adjusters on these levers slip and loose all cable tension. One fell off and got lost so that brake has stopped working altogether.

I am located in Cape Town southern suburbs. I am happy to contribute towards shipping or component value.

(I should really find a replacement bike. But if I do, I know this one will get passed on to another commuter. So best the brakes get fixed first.).

Looking for a 29" Roval aluminium rim if anyone has one lying around?

Strangely enough I recently got a bike from a friend with one carbon and one alu Roval šŸ¤”. I have yet to decide what I am going to do with either. Maybe you can make things easier for meĀ :clap:
