The "I need something you might throw away" thread

[Stevovo]

Looking for damper internals for a 2015 Rock shox sid 29er to replace my brain damper with. Any reba or sid from 2016 and older will work if you have a damaged fork you want to donate or sell for spares please help me out. Thanks

Hey Hubbers. I have some parts and books that I'm wanting to get rid of. I'm not wanting to split this up and would rather have someone who can pick this up in the Cape Town area (I'm in Pinelands) to take this off my hands. The pics should hopefully be self explanatory, but PM me if you have any questions or are keen on taking everything. I'll work on a first come first served basis here.

Next in line otherwise, can you some of the stuff.

[Hairy]

can you post a photo of what you are looking for - can it be machined?

Thanks, but Black Sheep Bikes sorted me out.

Hi! 

 

I have a Bell MIPS Youth helmet that I would like to give away. 
 

Note: I (I have a small head) fell on a single track a couple of weeks ago and the helmet has two tiny cracks on the side. This is a hazard and that is why I am not willing to ride with it anymore as we ride on various terrains and "safety first"... But I think this will be okay for a kid and not worth it to throw away.

Collection/courier will be on your account, photos attached.

Do bell not still have the trade-in policy on their cracked helmets?

[Chriszelle]

I have no idea? It does not look like they operate in SA but I could be wrong.

If you have the receipt you can take the helmet to where it was bought, they should offer you a "crash replacement" where a certain amount of discount is offered on a replacement helmet. Perhaps give the shop a call and check if they can give some info on this.

I took a damaged bell back to the store of purchase a few years ago in pietermaritzburg. Got hit by a car!

The store got approval from the agents and I had a credit towards a new lid.

I didn't have the receipt but had a relationship with the store.

So yes, go and ask.

one thing Spaz do very well is cover you with warranty options should your failure qualify
