dibs, will shortly pm

Just after a rear gear cable, with or without housing (though with may be better). Trying to avoid buying a whole set, so if anyone has one that has not been used then that would be great.

Suitable offer/beverage based compensation offered.

Thanks for the responses all. Sounds as though should not be a big deal, which is great.

I had thought that I had stripped it... but I hadn't forced it and there are still clearly defined threads on the remaining that on relatively close inspection are not crossed.

Though I did have a fear that I had buggered something up! Will look into it.

I'm building up my first attempt at a geared bike, and have hit a stumbling block with the rear derailleur.

Having screwed it in to the hanger, I had some real problems getting it into the correct position without rubbing on the chainstay. So I removed it, fiddled with it and screwed it back in, only to notice that a metal coil was being pushed out of the hanger by the bolt on the derailleur. This was eventually completely dislodged (and mangled) as a result of which the hanger is too large for the bolt.

Is this a common thing, or a quick fix previously adopted? It is now not possible to attach the derailleur!

As such, is there an equally quick fix to sort this, or is it time for the LBS (which would be a shame, having sorted everything else!)

Many thanks

Very interested... whereabouts are you based?

dibs on the white selle italia please, if still available - have pm'd

I blame the immigrants.

It's actually the immigration courts in Field House that are on fire...

spooky

Is the room still available? Need to find somewhere, but can't pm due to lack of posts.

If it is could you stick the link to the gumtree ad in the pm (or send through details of rent and location)?

Thanks

Having lurked on this forum getting ideas for my bike for months, it seems a shame that my first post will be about guitars, but still...

tell me more about your small custom valve amps. Sounds intriguing, do you have any pics/sound clips as an example?
