On a high end road bike, I can maybe agree with you.  But other bikes & MTB I see no issue with the odd cable tie here and there.

Agreed.

Cable ties do not belong on a bicycle. There are far more elegant solutions.

A cable tie is not A cable tie 

 

Prately , Hellerman tyton and china all make cable ties but they are 3 very different products

Hi I am looking for the 2 rubbercoverings on Shimano shifters on a road bike

[Kingg]

Looking for a friend.

 

My friend is moving over his Campagnolo groupset from his Bianchi to a Dogma F8 and is looking for a F8 hanger and a braze-on campy derailleur as he's got a clamp on derailleur. Willing to pay.

TIA.

I was hoping if someone has a shorter stem lying around for my bike that’s permanently on the trainer? This one is around 120mm and the reach is just killing my upper back.

I think you need to start a thread titled "I have something you might need" 🤣

No hassle, can I get in touch with you in the morning, I will send you some photos of what I have and then you can tell me what you need 👍

Does anyone have a 12T or 13T fixed sprocket I can buy from them or know where I could find them in SA? 

Thanks in advance
