I believe I may have, I know that I definitely have X7 but let me check quickly 

Nope, sorry, only X7 in 10 speed

Looking for the Shimano Di2 Etube connection system that link the Di2 to a computer. This is the old version that came out with first generation Dura Ace and Ultegra 10spd not the later that plugs into the charger port or link to the mobile app.

Hey everyone, I am in need of the triangle for a Giant Anthem X1 26er. Now I know, the guys from Giant already told me that the chances of me finding one is slim. But hey, I can only try. It is the piece that connects the rear with the frame and shock as shown in the image. 

 

I do not mind paying.

I was thinking to run a broom stick inside the alu for additional support, I reckon it'll flex a bit but if I use more duck tape it'll be shap 😁

anyone has tokens in table view or cape town area for a standard size steerer ? I only have Overdrive2 ones but they are way too wide for my new bike, and I'm not too keen to cut the steerer just yet

Thanks Hairy, I managed with the OD2, just put a ziptie in and it doesn't move anymore 

 

A real race snake wouldn't hesitate to cut the steerer tube though !

@Block I have such a system, I am on the east rand, you are more than welcome to come and use it at my house, don't really want to sell it.

That is all good and well, but I will not sleep at night knowing you are running with cable ties ..... even if I drop some off in your postbox (Got to run out today and will be passing by your place) .... you see what you can use, even temporarily, and then I can pick up from your postbox what you did not use on another day.
