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?

Looking for Fox 32 29' stantions, can be worn a bit ... helping a local kid anything would be better than what he has. The oil just oozes passed the dust wipers it's that bad ????

I'm in Alberton

Come on ou's surely someone has a poked fork lying around ... Willing to drive to wherever you are to collect as long as I don't have to sleep over somewhere 😜

Hi,

 

Looking for those rubber inserts for Thule Wingbars or suggestions for some alternative solution (silicon?).

I bought the bars on the Hub and they never had those rubbers and I reckon that is where most of the noise comes from when driving above 80km

 

Thanks,

Cheers!

Had an extra roll of rim tape I bought (@Rapide) in 2019 - strong stuff. (Put a small piece on the downtube of my FuelEX where I suspect there use to be a plastic covering more than a year ago and been through mud rain many washes and still holding up perfectly.)
On the Wingbars - Been holding up 100cement for a few weeks now with a bit of rain and sun - works perfectly and only I or someone close to 2m can see it and doesn't really look bad IMO
Will just reapply as needed going forward.

Did the tape eliminate the noises you were getting from the bars?

My old Five Ten Kestrel laces. Size 44.5. Beaten up but not completely dead yet me thinks. The flap under the tip of one shoe is where I had it re-soled where the nylon shank has protruded through.

If you're interested, message me and I can arrange courier at your cost. I live in Ceres.

Anybody have a decent pair of 29" rims they want to sell? Looking for something for my brother, his bike has some crazy skinny rims that flex if you look at them hard enough, even a complete wheelset, QR non boost for a reasonable price..
