Im going to get rid of a few bib shorts - used of course. Is there a charitable spot in Jhb I can drop them at, or do I advertise them here for give away?

Gravel can be tough on repurposed road components!
Anyone have or know where I can source this cover plate / name plate thing for R8020 LH lever?

Try @Richiespares, he's always got heaps of Shimano smalls.

Solomon's Woodmead had a charity bin.  I haven't used it for a while so check with them if still active.

Good day hubber

I'm searching for a triple chainring front derailleur, no band, for a old road bike but I'm sure as everyone knows they are hard to find.  I hope someone has one lying around and willing to sell.

Thanks in advance.

Will a Clamp-on MTB FD work for you?  I'm sure I have a SRAM X9 FD lying in a box somewhere.....

Play it Forward has a donation box at Saint Stithians College (outside the Sports Republic shop at the astros) Randburg, or at Pirates Rugby Club, Greenside.  They will redistribute cycling kit/equipment to an appropriate recipient, as they collect all used sports equipment not just bike related items.

Hi Everyone

I have a perfectly functional set of Avid Elixir brakes that is missing the mounting bracket for the one lever/master cylinder. I literally just need 1 bracket as per the pic below. New I can only get the matchmaker version as a pair, which cost the same as a basic full set of Shimano disc brakes.

So does anyone have a single bracket lying around? Maybe someone who went to a matchmaker and has the original lying around? Happy to pay for it, just need to find someone who has one.

did you find what you need?

I have a set you can have.
