Hi, sorry for the delay and thanks for the pic - they look good. I think I’ve sorted a pair now via @tomsvoboda but if it turns out they’re not right, I’ll get back in touch.

replied to your PMs, thanks - sorry for the delay.
Still looking so if anyone has anything suitable, please send me info. I guess my budget is somewhere around £30, if that helps: a bit middle-of-the-road in terms of grunginess vs poshness.

Thanks! Yes, would be great to see some photos if you can.

Hi. I'm after some simple but nice enough track / slimline touring pedals for a fixed build, ideally all together with clips and straps but if not, from separate people. I have and like MKS streams; RX1 would be really nice. Ideally in silver but not necessarily a deal-breaker. Happy with single straps but double better; if MKS clips it'd be L as I'm a 43 / 9 shoe.

I'd need them posting as I'm in Newcastle...
thanks!

No longer needed!

Hi, I'm after an Olympus XA (the original version, not XA2 etc) in working order. I had one but it had various intermittent problems with the winding mechanism, shutter lag, film counter, etc. Does anyone have a decent one they'd be willing to sell?

SOLD

Price drop! £50 + post

Hi, did your garmin sell?

I’m selling my barely-used Brooks C17. It has less than 500 miles on it. I like it, and it’s true that it’s instantly comfortable as Brooks claim, but I just don’t like it quite as much as my old B17 so am going back to that.

I think this is either the ‘special’ model, or at least not the all-weather one. It’s black with steel rails and aluminium (? as opposed to the nylon of the standard / all-weather variety) chassis. In perfect, totally unblemished condition.

SOLD

Hi, I'm after a Bagman Expedition saddlebag holder - the larger of the two. Just the normal non-QR one. I'm in Newcastle so would need it posting, unless you're nearby. Does anyone have one they'd part with?

yes, thanks, would be good to see!

sorry, Shimano.

I'm looking for some bits for my wife's Galaxy which I'm converting back to drops for her, as follows:

• a nice but not ruinously expensive quill stem, ideally a Nitto dynamic (no need for the super-tall version, just the normal one) or similar.

• The old 9 spd cassette from her donor bike is looking pretty manky so if anyone has a decent, not too worn (wide-range / touring) one, I'd be interested in that too.

• A saddle... maybe a B17S or the Cambium equivalent, ideally in black or brown

• Dynamo lights - an B&M IQ Cyo front and mudguard-fit B&M rear, ideally.

I'd need it posting as am in Newcastle.

I totally forgot to keep up the hard sell with this. Cycling UK was a dead loss. Maybe no-one needs a single brake, or maybe the price was too high? I can't do anything about the former but I can bring the price down as it's just sitting on my desk taking up room. How about £50 posted?

I’m going to post this on the Cycling UK forum so will remove from here if necessary.

(still in its packaging, in case that was unclear - has just had the retaining cable ties removed).

I’m selling a single SRAM Level TL brake (lever and caliper; hydro). It can be used on left or right, for front or rear, but has a front-length hose. This one.

I’ve just had an Omnium cargo built up, and had ordered front & rear brakes, which I didn’t need to do as they’re ambidextrous, but I figured my LBS could replace the hose for a longer length. They couldn’t as apparently there’s no hose available til May (!)

I paid £65 + £10 post so figure £60 posted (NOW £50 posted... how do you achieve strikethrough on this forum?) is fair. The brake has been removed from its packaging but never fitted.

thanks, good to know. Still my idea of quite expensive but it does sound like a good solution.

That’d be ideal I agree - only thing is that dropper posts seem quite pricey. But I wonder if it’s the best solution, thanks.

Thanks very much - that’s great to know. Dynasnap, I had no idea. Good workaround!

Ah I see, good to know about the extender. I haven’t ordered one but figure I might want to in future - but a rubber-band mount, is that for a battery light? I’m not sure anything like that exists for b&m lights does it?

I’ve just taken delivery of an Omnium WiFi cargo… looking forward to building it up next week! There are two things I wondered about though. One is the placement of the front (dynamo) light - I’ve seen that people have used the b&m handlebar mount which is an option but looks a bit clumsy to me, plus it’s plastic and protrudes above the level of the rack. Is there another option? I heard that it could be possible to tap the underside of the rack via an existing breather hole and mount the light directly, which seems neat but I’m a bit reluctant to start hacking away at a new frame. There’s a supernova bracket which looks neater and should work (lamp is a B&M IQ XS)… but if anyone has any experience of any option it’d be good to hear about.

The other thing - the idea is that me and wife will both use it, so I guess will fit a QR seatpost clamp to allow easy adjustment but how to keep it secure? Has anyone come up with a good multi-user solution?

I suppose you can’t post, can you?

Thanks @M_V and @atk - that is super helpful. I don’t know why I hadn’t come across that surly info before... I’d certainly done a lot of searching about it. My hunch would’ve been that they were the same hub shell, so it’s good to know that that’s not the case.
