Your best bet is likely new from Lyne.

Out of stock sadly.

I've signed up to hear when they get again.

Howzit, if anybody has either a 26" front wheel with 15mm thru axle, or a thru axle conversion kit for an American Classic hub, please let me know. 

I have American Classic end caps. No idea what they are but will dig around for them tmw and post pics of them .

I am building my sons 24" parts onto a 26" frame. I have donated my super light American Classic wheels and RockShox Reba and I believe his bike will be awesome.

I installed some well used Formula R1 brakes for him some time ago but now the brake lines are too short for the new frame. I can make the rear brake line work for the front brake but need a new(or used) brake line for the rear brake. I only paid R500 for the set of used brakes and cannot imagine paying R700 for a new rear brake line.

 

Anyone have something more affordable available? A used brake line will be fine.

Hello everyone, 

I have an 4cycle bike rack that is gathering dust in my garage. Unfortunately the car mount disappeared along with my car. 
If anyone can make use rack they are most welcome to it. The rack can hold three bikes.

Cheers

Hi. Where are you located?

My rear derailleur died this morning, any old eagle chains I could borrow for sunday’s race in case my new force axs rear derailleur doesn’t come in time ? According to gravel geeks apparently I could use my GX derailleur but the flat top chain isn’t compatible

The guy that helps me with my garden is in serious need of a replacement 26 inch tyre.

Anyone in the Tokai or surrounding area with an old tyre they are happy to donate?

[Alouette3]

Sure I've got some that will work for a commute bike in storage. I'll go check in the week. I stay in Bergvliet
