My wife misplaced her Garmin Watch charging cable. Anyone in CT got a spare?

Can you share a pic? Of the cable...

I've got a box of random cables after clearing out a mate's stuff, might be a Garmin one.

You can also try Temu. I purchased  replacement cables and a charging docking station for my watch and they work perfectly around R40.

A boost skewer works a treat.

Hi, Im looking for a Giant TCR (2016+ model) seatpost, it can be an old cut one as I would like to expirement something or if I could borrow one that's already been cut very short before i cut my one. I need the saddle to be as low as possible.

You probably won’t be throwing it away, but I need a straight steerer 29” fork. 

In exchange you can have a tapered Rockshox 30. Lowers a bit faded but works 💯. 

Long story short but one of my bike mechs needs a new fork and I can give him this one (I changed to a Z2) but obvs the tapered steerer won’t work on entry level Norco bike. 

Really good guy. Uses the bike for commuting, community rides and he came with me to Trailseeker which we’ll be doing again in the new year.
