Mountain Biking - Pay it Forward thread....(free stuff) - Mountain Biking Edition

There's a free stuff thread in the for sale section of BF but I thought I'd start one here as I have something I want to give away and would rather give first crack to you here. If no one claims this here, I'll post it up on the main one in a few days time.

CLAIMED by pinkrobe

A friend of mine gave me this power gel bottle holder (new, never been used) that I suppose is meant to be strap

Mighty nice of you S. If this catches on an snowballs a bit, I think we should give it sticky status.

I've got a few 26'' rim brake wheels that I would give away if someone wanted them. I'd have to check on shipping though

I got a bunch of other stuff also and I am moving too, so you all might make out I'm going to update this post in a couple of days

no one wants this? i use those all the time for gels. but i usually put it in my pockets.

I have a Rockhopper frame, 1" head tube, I'll part with. I don't know how much shipping is, but if someone wants it..........

Fed-Ex Ground is super reasonable, especially if you can confine it to as small of a box as will hold it well.

what size?

I have a very old sears window air conditioner, still works but heavy.. Its free but shipping would be about $100.

what size?
+1, what size

I think its a large, oh and its a stumpjumper.I'll try to get a pic up later.

reading comprehension > you

I've got a bunch of crap I'd get rid of but I'm too lazy to ship.

Send all bike parts to Cheeto

LOL! XCracer,
As much as that would rock, I can not be that greedy. Take what you need, need what you take lol.

I'll take the gel thingy... Do you want a PM with my address? Paypal vs. putting a toonie in an envelope...

Perfect. We can do this via PM. Your choice of sending me the $2 (Paypal, envelope, Interac Online). Send the PM with your mailing address.

I might have a few bits and peices, I'll have a look.

I have gotten a couple of PMs about the frame. I'll check on shipping and give the first chance to the first PM sent .

I dont read, I just look at pictures and post stupid sh.it. :innocent:

I have some Deore Front and rear (9 speed) shifters.

if interested, or want pics, PM, first person to get to me wins.

Just pay shipping, I will check on shipping on a later time.

A trek 3900 has 27 gears?
Cause i would take those off you but my bike has 8 rings on back and 3 up front.
And didnt these explode?

didnt come with the bike, Spare parts a bud gave me, used, but not beat up.
I never touched em, so I figured, I got them for free, instead of hogging or selling them I'll pass them to someone who could use it,
Yea, I was originally a 3X8.

Aw, so they wouldnt work on a 3 by 8? Or is that not what 9 speed means?

They would, just dont shift down to the 9th click.
you can set your derail. to not go any farther if you did.

Cool, i would take those man. I need to ask my mommy about shipping though cause i screwed up last time i did.

Edit: DIBS ON THE DEORES

aight, get with me via PM.
I have to go for now, Ill get back to you.

I have to decide what I want to get rid of but I have a crap load of stuff I want to see gone. I will make a list and post it. :)

Piss poor advice from you Mr. Noob. Go eat a bag of Cheeto's and listen up:

The distance from gear 1-9 on a 9speed cassette is basically the same as the distance between 1-8 on an 8 speed cassette. The distance between each cog is different.

Use a 9 speed shifter on an 8 speed cassette and you'll have all sorts of crap goin' on. Eventually you'll dump 2 gears instead of shifting just one at a time b/c of the difference in gear-to-gear difference. (prob. around gear 3 or 4)

So...don't use a 9speed shifter with an 8speed cassette or the vice unless you wanna jack something up.

This is also why 8speed chains are wider than 9speed chains.



Seriously Cheeto, I thought you had learned alot about drivetrains lately:lol: Maybe now we know why you're dumping derailleurs:mad:

I was actually just about to PM Cheeto.

Actually, you can do this. You just gotta know how to set up the R/D. I have it setup on a beater bike. 9 speed Deore shifters with 8 speed Forte cassette. It shifts almost as clean as the Lx 9 speed on the backup bike....Unless you've tried it don't go raging on someone. :thumb:

Cheeto:
If you still have the shifters I am interested. PM if you still have'm.

As proven, it can be done. So don't go and get all over me for no damn reason. Secondly, I am not Mr. Noob. I'll more than happily challenge you in a XC ride. Third, My name has nothing to do with the chip, it's an inside story, so, thanks for your time.


--Side not, I DO NOT have paypal... sorry.

I'll more than happily challenge you in a XC ride.


Fantastic. It's been a while since we had a good e-race around here.

Ah, this game is great, helps me train in the off season.

I couldn't help but notice, Pcad made his way into the game, one of the bikes has fenders =0

Actually Cheeto-inside-not-chip-guy...your noobness refers to your inability to wrench on a bike. You can't fix a simple drivetrain issue...yet you give piss poor advice to some innocent bystander who will be out shipping money.

I surely don't want to take you up on your challenge though...I know that my inadequate bike handling skills mixed with my laziness and deconditioning would be no match for ChesterCheeto-the-inside-XC-Maniac:lol:


You need to lighten up, man. This is the net.:thumb:

And how do you know that I can't wrench a bike? Time have changed since I first started riding. Drive trains are no problem now.
Really, If I had the tools, I believe I could do it all.


Hey, atleast you got it right, I am the XC Maniac.

Ok, let's make this a fair race Cheeto vs chelboed.

Trail system of my choosing, so it's a fair match up.

Sorry...I only ride paved bike paths. Maybe a little gravel as long as it's not too big. Off road scares me.

I'm game, throw anything my way. That is, within the XC limits.
anything beyond, throw a better bike my way lol.
