Looking for any bike computers. Older ones are fine. Just as long as they work 😂.

We had a few but, they're almost 20 years old and have now stopped working.

I have an older but boxed and brand new(Never used) very basic Specialized computer(still has the wire which connects to the sensor laying at home. I'm based in CT if you're interested.

Anyone with a QR rear axle kit for AM Classic?

Need to convert a rear wheel from 142x12 to QR.

I also would love a front QR conversion kit, currently have one of those inserts which works but isn't ideal.

I think I've got Stan's front QR caps, not sure if they'd work for you?

I think the AM classic axle/ends is different unfortunately. It's a threaded tube which bolts up on the one side and is fixed on the other. 

I will start trawling the local bike shops if I don't come right here

Similar, ja, but the AM Classics have a distinctive black hex nut.

Ok, I checked now, rapide had of those. Dont see it on their site anymore. Maybe give Droo a shout at stoke

If anyone has an HG freehub that can work with Rapide wheels, I'd be happy to trade my XD freehub with you for some time. I'm keen to try out a Single Speeding on my bike but cannot be bothered to import a special kit or buy a complete new hub just for this purpose.

Hi All,

I'm running a 9 speed campy cassette and the second last sprocket (second smallest) is now slipping. 

Does anyone know where I could find these sprockets loose? Instead of ordering a complete new cassette.

TIA
