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.  

If I am not mistaken the hubber Zaheer Malik advertised a selection recently.

Rear are the essential ones

I have front, but not rear - they're the same as the Pro 4 if that helps.

I'm looking for the other side of the Go-Pro connector. The bit with two fingers. It needs to have a two-screw attachment. I need to mount my light. Happy to pay or to buy the whole arrangement.

If you don’t come right Temu is your friend. They have tons of this stuff.

Find a bike shop that stocks Lezyne, they do the adapter you're after.

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

look at the specs of both bike models, or just pics. unless there is something exotic and proprietry in the Look it should work.

Looking for a set of 10sp road shifters, for a 1x 'project' .... so if anyone has a set with a broken left shifter that would be perfect!

Not really fussed if they are Shimano, SRAM or Campag. Would certainly prefer the 'internal' cables type i.e not those ugly old time Shimano ones 😎

Happy to pay a few shekels and PUDO to Alberton if necessary

Hi Everyone,

Looking for a watch handlebar mount, any of you who upgraded to an edge that might have this laying around?

Does anyone have some of these older bushes for a shock. The 26er frame I am building needs them instead of the newer version. The pivot bolts are 6mm ID, majority of new bushes are 8mm ID. Will gladly pay if required

Those things are terrible. See if someone can turn a solid tube for you and a couple spacers. My dad turned a couple from brass when we used to ride Giant Trance 26ers
