Hi,
I need some bits to get my commuter on the road again. they don't need to be fancy. Just functional.
Wheelset
I need a pair of road wheels. 130/100mm oln, 700c. Doesn't matter if they've been well used, as long as the hubs aren't shot and the rims aren't worn through or bent. Something along the lines of 105 hubs on open pros would be ideal, but anything is considered. Budget is about £50, but can be flexible for the right wheelset.
Cantilever brakes
A pair of canti brakes. Again, it doesn't matter how much they've been used or how old they are, as long as they work well. I don't need pads, cables or levers. Just the arms on their own would be fine. Preferably the more modern style, which accept v-brake pads. Something like the tektro models, which come as standard on so many cx bikes, and get upgraded. I'm sure someone must have a set kicking around in a toolbox!
GXP bottom bracket
If anybody has a spare gxp bottom bracket floating around, with some life left in it, I'll take it.
Chainring
I need a 130mm bcd chainring. It needs to be 1/2"x3/32", as I'm running a single ring with gears on the back. Anything smaller than 48t considered.
Thanks,
Sam
