I did make contact with the last shop I knew of in CT who had stock last year but they have no more stock.

Mad-Macs?
I tore one of my white ones, but tape is holding it together for now... Also - they don't really look white anymore...

Looking for an 11sp mtb cassette, condition is not important ... just want to test the clearance with a specific gravel bike setup before I go out and buy the necessary bits ... as I always do 😎

Hopefully in the Alberhoughton and surrounding areas if possible please.

If you were closer ....

 

 

Sure @RobertWhitehead can assist .... not sure how close though

 

 

Can confirm that MTB 9, 10 and 11 speeds have the same dimensions.

Hoping for somebody can help ....

 

I am looking to buy a second charger for a Giant e-bike, 2019 model. Thanks to loadshedding I may need 2 chargers for a 3-day stage race.

Charger model number - GL 1270 C

Charger-1.jpg.f822c09807f4fd49e4cef74bf510b227.jpg

 

Charger-2.jpg.bdbfa6165b13b9cbf078634386ef3669.jpg

Kindly note the plug type in the attached photos.  THIS seems to be main change between the different model chargers.

PS - I have placed a WANTED add - https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/e-bike-frames-and-parts/643851/wanted-2019-giant-e-bike-charger

 

PPS - I have scoured the Stolen section and reached out to a number of people who had their 2019/2020 Giant e-bikes "re-distributed" .... Some VERY helpfull people !!!  One has a different plug type, another cant find the charger, may be gone or hidden very deeply .....

 

 

This is clearly a bit of a grudge purchase, as I "may need" it if we have bad loadshedding at Augrabies .... so any help in sourcing a 2nd hand unit will be greatly appreciated !! :clap:

 

 

I will be monitoring my Hub messages :thumbup:  More contact details on the Wanted thread as well.

 

 

BAIE DANKIE :thumbup:

 

Bit of feedback ....

 

My wanted post did not get much feedback.  Even worse, I was not getting any joy from the local Giant dealers.  Actually, they phoned Dragons while I was standing there ... "they will get back to us"

 

I searched the "Stolen" section for Giant e-bikes.  

 

@Des and I struck a deal, and I paid on Monday.  :thumbup:

 

That afternoon the local dealer came back with a price. :P  

 

Picked up the charger at PostNet this afternoon.

 

WOW !!!  When buying second hand you expect some "wear-and-tear" .... NOPE !!  This charger still has the original protective plastic on it.  Even the original Euro plug.

@Matt thank you for this platform.

Just wondering if anyone has an unused mtb cassette system. It doesn't really matter the speed or condition. I have a old kinda nice bike that I'm trying to fix, but don't really want to spend too much money on it.

Where are you based? Will help to know if we can meet. Not worth sending old parts across the country.
