Visited the only bike co-op in the East Valley this afternoon to hunt for items needed for the Raleigh posted previously.

Lo and behold there was a set of NGC-982 old style low-profile cantilevers for $10 that would fit perfectly. It was like a hundred little parts (exaggerating).
The arms have eccentric assemblies that rotate to position them up/down in/out. I was a happy bike nerd.

But once I got home, I found the kit is missing a 'wheeled' Dia Compe straddle hanger.

And more importantly, a straddle cable binder bolt assembly. How did I not see that??
It resembles a brake caliper recessed binder bolt...slips through the end of one of the arms.

I can only hope it's still in the bottom of the bin.

I also picked up a Deore DX rear freehub, and 4 FDs....an XTR-M90x, Deore LX-M571, Suntour XCE, and a cool looking Suntour XC for $5 each!

I wanted to use the Suntour XC on the Raleigh, but after degunking it, I concluded this model defaults to the big chainring. I've not seen one like this before. Pulling the cable draws the cage to the granny ring. Don't know why anyone would desire a 'normal high' MTB FD.


Oh well, it goes into the parts box and the XCE will take its place.
