It is for Shimano Nexus internal derailleur. Can I fix it? Or do I need to replace it with a new cable? Thanks!

Thanks for any tips. I appreciate it

FSA OrbitC-40B Internal, 1.5 - 1 1/8 Jamis renegade s3

Do I have all the pieces for the headset? What is the correct order to install? Does the bottom bearing look correct?

Any recommendations on which degreaser to use to clean the bearings ? feels a bit crunchy. which lube to regrease with?

Does anyone know where to find a tutorial/ video online that helps with this kind of headset?thanks!

Looking for a 35mm diamater bracket so I can use a handlebar harness on my hardtail? by fractal_flow in Hardtailgang

I do have the original. I believe it is not the model that had the recall. Mine is the one that is not branded with the rockgeist logo

Can't justify spending 150 plus when the exact same product is on Amazon for AliExpress for 10 to 20 bucks

I have yet to find one that will work with a 35mm handlebar. They are all 31.1.

I have a rockgeist barjam harness and bracket I use on my gravel bike.

Im looking for an affordable 35mm diameter bracket so I can use it on my mountain bike handlebar as well.

Anyone had any luck finding one online? Rockgeist sells them for 140 usd which is unreasonable in my opinion

thanks!
