Thanks so much for the offer!

I do however specifically need a disk or very deep section ... hub doesn't really matter what it is ... even if there is damage even on the brake surface doesn't matter cause I aint gonna use a brakes on this wheel

Cheers

Hi Hubbers,

Let me start with a story. I recently met someone while cycling on the mountain. We're friends now and have since gone on a few rides at Tokai, Cape Town. Four years ago he was knocked over by a bakkie with a bullbar while he was commuting from work home on a motorbike. It almost completely obliterated his right leg from the knee down. He almost lost his leg. He is currently 25 years old and is the nicest person you could ever meet and carries such positive energy with him. 

So my request is to find a 29er full suspension frame for him to replace his hardtail. He can transfer all components. He is more enduro, but anything would help. Even though he only started riding for over a year now, he lives for the sport  , but unfortunately, he's hardtail is killing his leg, though he complains very little about it. A donation would be great, but we can consider paying something towards it as well. I hope this request does not come across as absurd.

FYI he doesn't know I am posting this.

Seems a piece of the black rubber strip on my thule aerobars came off somehow, or was nicked. Not really looking to buy a whole set, so does anyone have about a half a length laying around that they not using?

Pin? Snap pin?

What is the world coming to? How does no-one have one for you 😄. I have one for you, it is a CSIXX 34T - Round NW (96 BCD) - it does have a few miles on it but I am sure it will still function - look me up
