Busy servicing a 20" bike ....

 

Was bought 2nd hand, taken to a known cycle shop for a service ....

 

I noticed the brakes needed some fine tuning and started down a wormhole .....

 

Need to visit Mark tomorrow to see if he has stock -

 

 

Seems the other shop serviced the wheel bearings and replaced the tires .... cleary made no attempt at checking the BB ....

Dit lyk soos n Prins Albert fiets …

Got a spacer from him this morning, not exactly the same as the original but it will work 100%.  Thanks for pointing me to him.

I need a handlebar shim, 35mm to 31.8mm.  Can somebody assist?  I have a 35mm stem, want to use a 31.8mm handlebar.

I am in need of a complete 29er front wheel, preferably with tyre but without is perfectly good. Most that are for sale are for compete sets of wheels.

I only need the front as it is for my mullet setup - 15mm TA Boost to fit my Manitou Magnum 34 fork. I currently have a 27.5x2.1 on the back and 27.5+x3.0 on the front but the fork can take a 29" wheel up to 2.6. The plus size works great but for any kind of distance the extra weight and rolling resistance is killing me.

Willing to pay of course but I cannot fork out R3k+ for a wheel so looking for something 2nd hand that won't break the bank.

Your bike looks badass with that 3.0 tyre on the front. You can also hear you coming from at least 100m away

Sounds like a TIE fighter on hard pack. 😁

I can only help you with a non boost 15mm TA front wheel 🙄

Converting a flat bar single speed commuter bike to drop bars.

Looking for a pair of old school road brake levers, no shifting needed. Or perhaps STI levers that no longer shift. 

Happy to pay, thanks.
