Do any of you have a Spez Epic FSR pivot bolt? The main one that connects the chain stay to the seat tube? I need one and Spez concept stores scare me

If you can not find one anywhere you can take the old one to an engineering shop and they can turn one out for you on the lathe. I had a tricky axel that I could not find anywhere for my old SS commuter and found a guy who does performance car upgrades that turned one out for me.

Just give me a shout if you run into trouble and I will pass on his details.

Problem is I don't have an old one to replicate. I'm busy putting together the 20inch full suss and I need to put everything together to square it up in the jig before I epoxy and set.

I need a couple of things machines actually, please whattsapp me the dudes details if possible? Some spacers, dust caps and bearing riders.

Ok finally got my old cassette off the bike:

OD:  36.5mm

ID:  33mm

0.95 mm Thick

I'm still looking for this spacer.   Surely there must be someone that replaced their Shimano 12 speed cassette by now?  This spacer is used on all the Shimano 12 speed cassettes (Deore, SLX, XT & XTR) just in different positions.  Shimano Part Number: Y-0GX00300 or Y-1X400300.

Please, if you have a worn out cassette, I only need literally the smallest component on it (apart from the low spacer on the XTR).

I have a Wheeler frame with a stripped hanger (its fixed to the frame) I wanted to use it "some day" but I doubt it's going to happen 😁

That could work is it worthy or being cut up ? Will hopefully become something beautiful if all goes to plan !

Ya sure, it will make a great "special needs" athlete 🙈

Does anyone perhaps know where I can find a conversion kit or dust caps to change my Novatec Dragon rear wheel from Thru Axle to QR?

Anyone have a worn 11 speed casette around the northern suburbs? I am after the smaller individual gears: 11-17. Needed for a father/son project.

We are looking for a 16t junior road rear cluster for Shimano freehub. My daughter wants to do the WP Road Cycling champs and have to get the geared rollout for u17 within the regulations. We have one on order but no guarantees it will be here in time (4 weeks), and would like her to train a bit with the lower gearing. Just maybe there is someone that has in the past supported a junior and still has one laying around. Thanks.

Is there a dropoff for old cycling gear in table view / durbanville area ? Maybe at cwc or tygerberg club ? I have shorts / bibs and jerseys that I don’t use anymore, it would be a shame to throw them away

You can always limit the current cassette (or ride with discipline) to get used to not having the higher gears. If you race on this cassette you will however have to physically remove the cogs and put in spacers. Come to think of it, you're more likely to find the 14t Junior variant in which case you will still have to remove 2 gears...

Ive got an 11-40 11sp Shimano Xt casette if you need it (in good condition) . I'm in joeys though. 

If anyone is going to the northern burbs in CT from the big smoke then you're welcome to it. (I have someone going down to slaapstad on the 5th Jan if you want to wait?) 

PM me if you're interested

I'm looking for a 10spd with 11-42 or 46T. My wife is swearing at the 11-40T. Otherwise a 28T four bolt NW shimano front ring

Thanks. There are so many options. Smaller chainring with the 14 (for which there are also stock issues). Last resort is mtb crank with 36t on the current cluster.  Discipline? From a racing snake that just wants to ride away from me? But yes, I could just restrict the limits on the derailleur for training purposes.
