The "I need something you might throw away" thread

[Robin]

I’m looking for a 3 bolt direct mount 36 chainring to test out before I look at buying a new one. If anyone has one laying around that they want to maybe part ways with?

I am looking for a fork that fits the Look 675 Light RD road bike. 

I got a bike from another member on the hub, and the fork is damaged (this info was shared prior to me picking up the bike).

Unfortunately, the damage on the fork can't be repaired (spoke to 2 workshops) I was hoping to keep the original fork. So I need to replace the fork. Does not have to be carbon like the rest of the bike, but will be nice. 

If anyone has a one, let me know so we can discuss logistics, price and so on.

Anyone have Hope pro2 evo QR end caps knocking around? Happy to pay

Thanks Rob. How would I know if this fork will fit on the frame I have?

If you don't come right and have the TA end caps, you might be able to get one of those adaptor tube inserts that turn TA to QR

I got screwed for the first time on a BikeHub purchase and have landed up with a set of Shimano brakes where one of the levers is bent and the plastic insert they run on are  incorrect 🤦‍♂️

Does any one have a spare from a damaged set, even if its just the plastic inserts as Shimano does not do spares. Pic is of the correct part off the good side.

Levers are MT-501 and M6000, multiple different series parts would be compatible.

I can send you service kits to sort it out for you, the lever can just be bent back in a vice span widget

Hi all, I need a pair of Stans 3.30 front hub thru-axle end caps. A Stans 3.30 boost conversion kit like the ones MRP used to supply would be even better!

Happy to pay for the items and for postage. 

Much appreciated.

Good day all 

I know I should look in the classified section, but so far no luck. My wife bought a 16 inch bike for my two year old, it was advertised as a 12inch. The 2 year old legs are just to short to reach the pedals so we will be keeping the bike until she is a bit taller. Anyone has a 12inch for a girl that really wants to ride a bike or maybe knows of a smart way for me to help her reach the pedals, I was considering using wooden blocks on the pedals to give her that little bit of assistance.

Have you tried Twowheelstrading ?

[TYGA]

Good suggestion - I mailed them now but as those hubs have been discontinued, they don't get those parts anymore.

Have you done the balance bike thing already?

Yes, But big sis got a new bike so the little one is not interested in a balance bike, she wants to pedal.
