Pictures of the hydraulic brakes.

Finally got rid of the MTB that has been sitting in my dad’s shed for about two decades.

Marzocchi Z1 bomber dropoffs. I think they have 4 or 5 inches of travel. Can take both rim or disc brakes.

Hope O2 hydraulic disc brakes (pair) and 6-bolt rotors. One lever cap thingy is very scratched. They might need new hoses. Somehow I still have the original boxes and instructions.

RST cable disc brakes pair and 6-bolt rotors. Very good condition.

Seems a shame to chuck this stuff out. Yours for a forum donation.

Collection from Tring or Euston/Tavistock Sq whenever I’m next in for work. I can post at your cost if but it’ll take me a while.

Please buy these before I decide to buy a wholly unnecessary frame to put them on.

Dura ace 7900 shifters, pair. Good condition, a few minor cosmetic marks on the shiny bits. Sold

Dura ace 7900 front derailleur, band-on 34.9 (I was running this with an adapter on a smaller seat tube - worked fine) £20

Dura ace 7900 rear derailleur, 10sp. Decent condition, bit of a scratch on the front. Sold

Dura ace 7900 brake callipers. Very good condition. No pads/shoes. Sold

Ultegra 6800 175mm 52/36 crankset. A bit scratched up. Some life left in the chainrings I think. Sold

No idea whether I’m taking the piss with these prices so feel free to let me know.

Collection either from Tring or whenever I’m in the office at Euston/Tavistock Sq. I’ll post at your cost if you’re desperate, but I am warning you that I’m incredibly lazy.

Hi there, I’ve got one going spare. Let me know if you still need one.

Originally purchased off here from @carson, I’ve used this as my good weather bike over the last 5 years. I’ve bought a Supersix, so this is now surplus to requirements.

Top tube measures 57cm, fits me well at 6ft.(My other bikes - Supersix and Genesis Volare are 56cm. This feels pretty similar.)

Comes with bottom bracket, headset, seat clamp, and spacers. (Stem and seat tube not included.)

Can run 25c on the back, but have stuck with 23c on the front as 25 is a bit too close for comfort.

Pretty good condition on the whole. Some spotting/marks to the lacquer on the top tube and chain stays, but nothing serious. Pictures don’t quite do the finish justice.

Price is £300 ONO. (Not sure how to price this, so let me know if I’m way off.)

I’m located between Tring and Leighton Buzzard. Don’t really want to post, but can discuss collection or drop-off.

Not sure what the best measurement is, but they could go up to 45cm circumference.

Any takers for £20 posted?

PM’d, cheers.

I’ll take this off you. Postage or collection only?

As per title. I ordered these from Wiggle in the same size I already had (which I bought about 4 years ago). Unbeknownst to me they’ve changed their sizing, so these are way too small. I can’t return them as I removed the tag before trying them on. (Yes, I am an idiot.)

I paid £40, so happy to let these go for £25 posted.

Do they have the exalith braking surface? Any interest in selling just the front, or do you only want to sell as a pair?

My front wheel has a split right at a spoke nipple, meaning it’s impossible to true and probably dangerous to ride. Mavic have quoted £360 to repair, but no guarantees they can actually fix it.

Anyone got a spare Mavic Cosmic Pro Carbon exalith front wheel going?

I’ll take the Challenge tyres. Will PM.

Is it a shimano freehub? I’m assuming the cassette isn’t included?

Yep, still got it.

I’ve got a spare Ultegra 6800 left crank in 172.5. DM me with an offer.

I’ll take this. PM’d.

Thanks for the level-headed advice everyone. Re: @Velocio’s questions - we’re No, Yes, Yes.

Excellent points around rent. I made the mistake of adding up how much I’ve spent on rent since moving to London, and it made me want to cry.

I’m leaning toward proceeding I think. Plus, there’s space for more bikes, which should be reason enough.

Need some herd wisdom on what to do: I’ve been in the process of buying a new build using the Help To Buy equity loan scheme for the last few months. We’re really close to be able to exchange, but now I’m shitting myself that property prices are gonna decrease over the next year or so. The property developer is pushing HARD to complete ASAP, so much so that they’re offering to pay my next month’s rent.

Do I carry on, withdraw, or attempt to renegotiate price? Argh!

That’s insane. This is a new virus with a higher mortality rate than seasonal flu, and there is no vaccine.

That did the trick, thank you! Saved me a few quid there.

Good shout. Will try taking the red bit off and getting a spanner in there.

People are just trying to do their best I guess, and the situation is constantly evolving of course.

I’ve just bought a second hand bike with BB5 discs on it. The red pad adjuster is completely stuck, and the T25 hex bolt is totally rounded out. As a result, I can’t fit new pads. Is there any saving this, or should I just buy a new calliper?
