chuky Posted September 23, 2009 Share Hi after a strange turn of events i broke the pin in the one small gear on my derailer. now I thought I could just replace the pin (as I have all the other parts needed) but after taking down to Life Cycles in Parklands CT they say I have to replace the whole thing at R700 for just the part here a pics http://www.thirteen37.za.net/pics/index.php?Qwd=./derailer&Qif=IMG_0218.JPG&Qiv=thumbs&Qis=M http://www.thirteen37.za.net/pics/index.php?Qwd=./derailer&Qif=IMG_0222.JPG&Qiv=thumbs&Qis=M it just the pin in that seemed to have broken which is seems to be press fitted in. Do i really have to replace the whole thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollar Posted September 23, 2009 Share Did not look at the pics, but I can say (without too much fear of contradiction) that they are hard to fix. Jockey wheel pins you can get. Other pins too - but not from big S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollar Posted September 23, 2009 Share OOps - it is the jockey pin? Ask the hubbers if they have a spare lying around. They screw in. Big S sells these too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuky Posted September 24, 2009 Share thought i would give a update, took my bike around to teknix and I must say what service, within 5min he had they thing resembled using some old pasts from old derailers for nothing. Booked my bike in for a service while I was at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
