Birmingham Trades & Sales

Nah I meant the mens sizes come up bigger so I won't be a 40 in them I don't think. Can try a few on tomo though I spose.

I wanna go clipless Matt. Vans are sooooo hip right now.

Clipless aint hip......
All about platform pedals and Dc's or Vans with mega platform pedals with big spikes.
or rock the Atherton Style, Reebok Classics..

Vans are sooooo hip right now.

I WISH I owned a van. A campervan.

Not sure I've really sold the trip but: https://www.lfgss.com/thread67872.html

SALE
1 Cane Creek tt lever - brand new - £9

Wanted: Short reach stem. 1 1/8", 31.8mm clamp

Does anyone have one going second hand or any bike shop people have any in stock?

I'm thinking along the lines of this http://www.wiggle.co.uk/cinelli-ant-black-stem/, but would prefer to buy local obvs..

Ok, first person to find me some non-spazzy looking not too expensive cycle shoes that are compatible with my Time ATAC Aliums I'll give a prize to. Size UK 40 and I usually wear Vans/Cons. Bored stiff of buying bike bits and having no girls in Birmingham to discuss this stuff with!!

Chrome Kursk Pros sound good -

Shimano's AM45 are a great shoe and work fine with time atac pedals chainreaction are doing them for £60

looking for a granny ring for polo if anyone's got one?

How many bolts/what size?

velcro spud shoes look proper odd in pubs!!

Shimano's AM 45 Look pretty normal had a few non bike people ask about them last time I was out.

Are the AM45's replacements for Shimano DX shoes? My's DX's are getting a bit long in the tooth now and will need replacing shortly

Nope Shimano say their just expanding the range to give more choice to riders.

WANTED
Does anybody have 8 or 9 speed indexed shifters please? Preferably Shimano.

For flat bars? I have some combo V-brake levers and shifters off my old MTB kicking about if they're any use? 8 speed I believe.

Edit: Shimano Acera EZ-Fire 8 speed...

Nope sorry, down tube shifters for my tourer. Building this thing is driving me insane.

WANTED
Does anybody have 8 or 9 speed indexed shifters please? Preferably Shimano.

did they make 9 speed indexed downtube shifters?
i thought everything had gone to sti's/ergo's by then.

either way, good luck with the search. have you spaced out the giant frame to 130mm then?

God knows, gears are not my thing. I just need shifters and I need 'em NOW!

It is 130mm already but is being set to 135mm to take my touring wheels.

I have in my box of shite 2 x brake/gear 8 Speed Shitmano combis suitable for drop bars, foc, any good? Think there is a mech lurking as well in there.

i think 135mm is only for mountain bike wheels - are you running a mountain derailleur?

if you are then i think it will be difficult to get indexed downtube shifters for it, as mountain bike shifters have been mounted on the bars for a long time now.

sorry i'm not helping!

also, if mothergirl doesn't take those shifters i might be interested depending on price/groupset!

Shimano Deore touring wheels. I have two derailleurs (different ranges) to see which works best. The original groupset is Shimano 105. In theory should work fine. I think.

try them out..doing fa anyway, if they don't work pass them on..simples.
