The "I need something you might throw away" thread

Hi Hubbers 

 

I need of something weird 

 

dead 34.9 droper posts , like they don't have to be working at all , they don't even need the insides to be there 

 

If its just the outsides then cool ....34.9 seatposts ( I haven't seen many ) will also work 

 

CAn trade cash , beer , cupcakes or smarties

Recently saw Nils at Woodstock Cycles making a crankset shorter .

Drilled a hole for the pedal , threaded it and cut off the unwanted extra bit of the crank

I did this with a set of Original Lyne alu cranks to make them 145mm 

Took all of 45 minutes

Black 170mm drive side 105 crank and chainrings… I recently got 105 stages crank. Looking for a black drive side crank? Anyone have anything available? Ideal 10 speed guy sonce the rest of the gearset is 10 speed tiagra.

I know of a bike shop in EL that has a 34.9 post, can get it here. But then again, I am sure there's better options .

Looking for a Rockshox fork thru axle (non boost)any condition as long as it screws in if that makes sense ... doesn't matter if the Allen key thingy is stripped or that 'quick release' tighten lever gadget is broken or doesn't work

I may but not yet, I have this idea I'm busy with to use 2*18650's and 1 of the 'control units' in a 3D printed 'container' for want of a better word

Busy with the design, hope to print a prototype in the coming days

I'll keep y'all updated

Did you ever find those 18650 batteries? I tried to import some a while back but customs said no..

I have one old unit that I'd like to have a go at re-equipping

[NotSoBigBen]

Coincidently got 2 from my son's mate, a 'vaper', just this week. Need to just get finished with 2 other projects I'm busy with then that's the next thing 😎

@Barry @Alouette3 Grumpy from my LBS The Workshop gave me 2 options luckily! Thank you so much for the offers gents

Hi! 
Is there someone who would like to rent me a gravel bike for two weeks? Overberg area. Size small.

I know the chances are remote but is there a hubber that could perhaps help out with something similar?
