Hi all,

I'm looking for a set of 3x7 shifters if anyone has some lying around please.

Want to change the grip shifts on the bike of my SO's daughter (terrible things those)

Cape Town area preferrably.

I can help but I am not in CT. 

 

PS I am currently quite ill so it won't happen today

Need a basic pump head 

 

Pump and hose are fine but head has given up , just something basic that works really doesn't have to be one of these fancy dual-head thingies 

I can help, I am just quite ill at this moment so it won't be today

Good morning Robert,

Thank you, I have potentially come right this side. @ChrisF has a set of 3x9 shifters and cassette lying in a box, so we are going to try and do a gear upgrade at the same time.

Hope you recover soon mate.

Thanks Theo,

@ChrisF has 3x9 shifters and a cassette in a  box by him  we're going to see if we can't do a gear upgrade at the same time. 

Thanks for the offer though 😎

@RobertWhitehead maybe you can confirm if the following swop will work ...

 

The idea is to replace the 7 speed CLUSTER with a 9 speed CASSETTE.  In terms of hub thread and spacing ... do we have a chance of success with this ?

 

 

PS - I do have the 9 speed cassette, derailure and shifter.  @KB280DT is currently also on the crutches list ... so may be a week or two before we can get together to actually test this transplant ....

It will work if the current hub is a normal HG (Hyper Glyde) if it is a screw on cluster then unfortunately it will not work. But other than that everything will be golden. The HG freebody will have enough space to go up to even 10 speed. 11 speed may be a stretch 😁

Thank you.

 

just checked with @KB280DT .... this is the old style screw on cluster setup.

 

 

So either another 27,5 rim which can take a cassette, or the search continues for 3x7 shifters.

In exchange for some beer money...

Looking for a 650b front disc wheel with 15mm thru axle hub (old non boost), otherwise 26" wheel, or even just a hub if I can't find a complete wheel.

 

Want to build up a hardtail tail frame so I can mount a seat and ride with my little one. Got pretty much everything else. Ideal will be mullet 650b on the front

I made a mistake earlier last week: I thought I was going to put a 650B Reba onto a Marlin and I then went ahead and built my Alex wheel with a thru axle hub only to discover that the fork is actually a 26er 😭. I even went ahead and got the fork serviced prior to making the discovery . And the Darwin award goes to? Anyway, I have a newly built 650B tubeless front wheel if you want to take it off my hands

If you'd had a Fox fork it would have worked
