I'm struggling to source a couple of Nitto bits, including striking out (no response) with Nitto direct, so thought I would try my luck here...

So, my M18 doesn't reach the low rider bosses on my fork, the perfect solution exists in the form of some Nitto longer struts, however, I can only find these from Riv Bike in the US who's postage is ridiculous. ($65 postage on a $22 item).

I'm also looking for one of the right sided Nitto lamp holders.

If anyone has overcome this problem with some DIY, bodging, or found a stockist elsewhere in the world please let me know!

Further update to the above incase anyone has a similar issue:

Tubus make some 7mm struts which are an exact fit for the Nitto, they come in black too! Found in the LBS so no link unfortunately.

I'm facing exactly this issue.
Are these the ones?

And what length did you need?

I had the same issue, in the end went with Riv cause I couldn't find any alternatives, don't do it, whilst the shipping is speedy it's just so f*cking expensive

SJS cycles do all sorts of struts and rack spares in their rack spares section:

The mudguard spares and accessory fitting brackets sections are equally useful:

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
