    Hi folks,

    Long shot here but it seems to be the very last effort to save some good working components.

    I am in need of a rear axle for a Gipiemme Fixed Hub. I have tried a number of replacement axles, however no luck.

    M10x1 thread
    165mm length
    78mm shoulder spacing
    10mm shoulders for bearings

    It seems like a long shot, a really long stupid shot, but anyone has something that would work and willing to ship to Berlin ? 🤷‍♂️

    All shops CBA, Gipiemme factory CBA,

    Hi there,

    Some component of my rear wheel have broke and after trying to replace the part + calls with manufacturer I am coming to the conclusion i'll just need to replace the wheel itself, which is pretty frustrating.

    Anyone in Berlin have a wheel to sell? HMU

    Hey guys,

    Thanks so much for the suggestions and great to see the community super ready to help!!

    I think I have managed to sort it out through family on the other side so in total less logistics and efforts etc.

    Either way, very grateful for your reactions, looking forward to getting the N+1 out onto the roads&trails

    Random question but...
    Anyone in Berlin have a Hard Shell bike box they could loan out for 2 weeks?

    I will be picking up my bike from home in September and I'm already anticipating the efforts of packing, airport inspection + repacking for flight with as much padding, pipe lagging etc as possible.

    A hard case would make the whole experience a great deal easier, so thought I would see the community has!?

    let me know if you have tips, tricks or advice 👍

    A quick thought whilst i'm here. I am on the hunt for the N+1 at the moment and I cant seem to work out the market just yet. Thanks to a Covid and Brexit I feel like the possibility of getting something from the UK will either be a long shot or an expensive logistical nightmare.
    Im searching on Ebay, Kleinanzeigen, Facebook Flohmarkt groups and marketplace and everything seems super expensive if you are looking for a full build compared to the UK market.
    For a Carbon (or alloy for that matter) frame road/gravel/CX bike, you will not find anything 1500EUR, the options at 2000EUR are still pretty slim.
    Not sure if its just me or I am totally looking in the wrong places - anyone else find this?

    Keen for a ride at some point also! I have gingerly exploring the odd route (mainly road) outside of the centre.
