MTBER46 Posted June 20, 2023 Share 1 hour ago, RobertWhitehead said: I am kinda sure you will be able to make it fit @RobertWhitehead seems to be some slight changes where they connect at the rear, as you said might be able to make it fit, especially if I don't manage to find the correct chain stay please PM me with what you have in mind for it.

lechatnoir Posted June 20, 2023 Share Not quite in the spirit of the thread's name, but I've not been able to take my MTB chain off as I've lost (thrown away) my quicklink pliers. Or so I thought... So hunted high and low for them, but nope... In frustration, I ordered a new pair (see where this is going?). But the order failed, which was a good thing, as they're hanging on my bike stand, where I put them... It's always in the last place I look, so I should look there first Zebra and Dexter-morgan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always in the last place I look, so I should look there first for the future when your quicklink pliers are where they belong but you dont see them. I've been using a piece of weedeater line to release the quicklink on my previous chains. Thread it through the to closest links to the quicklink, pull the links together which forces the quicklink to disengage. Dexter-morgan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRIBike Posted June 22, 2023 Share I am looking for a broken di2 shifter for spares (r8050/r8070/R9150/R9170). I actually only need the springs (in pic) that goes onto the lever buttons if anyone know a way around it or an alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisF Posted June 22, 2023 Share If all else fails ... Most hardware stores have a tray of springs, with different diameters, lengths and stiffness. Zebra, RRIBike and Dusty 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a box full of springs from old computer keyboards (dont ask). RRIBike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are in Gauteng, you can try SA Spring manufacturers in Driehoek Germiston, they have LOTS of samples that was made up for Clients, they will help.

My shifter has a mechanical click before the button click engages. No big deal, but YouTube video shows that it's likely these springs getting worn or mucky. The guy in the video simply cleaned and lubricated these springs and resolved his issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Apparently the bike that the groupset came from was in a crash, unfortunately I took the risk as I couldn't view the groupset. I'm hoping it will be a cheap fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I previously bought from them for various projects. RRIBike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
