Is this dropper still for sale?

Hey mate, just saw this post. I have a pair of 24” Spank Subrosa rims (Gold) I was planning to build for my son’s bike. He’s growing too fast so is on 26” now. They’re brand new, one of them has been laced though never put on a bike. They’ve still got tags on them... $40 (is what I paid for...

Thanks for the encouragement mate. Once I get my workshop sorted I’ll give it a try.

Item: - RS Charger damper Location: - Melbourne Price range/Willing to Pay: - Let’s chat Extra Info: - I’m keen to learn how to service my Charger damper and figure if anyone has an unused/busted one laying around, it’ll be better than potentially screwing up mine...

Yeah I’m excited to get it tested on my son’s bike. It feels really good to look at a wheel and know (at this very point in time) it is well trued and tensioned.

Yeah it makes sense to me (now) to be methodical with every step. I originally laced it wrong and couldn’t get it true laterally so kinda snapped, relaced it and voile. I’m keen to build up more now.

I finished building my first wheel up yesterday. I finally managed some free time and spent a few hours plodding along with Musson’s book. The wheel turned out great; it’s true and wasn’t as hard as I’d imagined. It’s a great feeling to get it up to tension and have a wheel look like it...

PM'd you

I'll take it mate. Where are you located? PM incoming

They used to be my (then) 3 year olds favorite lolly.

Thanks for the write up mate, very helpful as I’m looking to head to Tas for a few days riding and need to decide if Derby or Maydena will float my boat. How were the trails at Maydena compared to Derby? Better? Worse? Crazier? I’ll likely get 3 days riding and figure I’ll hit one spot. That...

That looks dodgy as! Black tape would have been much better:)

Haha, yeah I figured that'd be the case though I'll take what I can get when it comes to riding at Bright... Luckily for me the entire family have now decided they're coming. So a boys trips is now a family trip. Yay:( Congrats mate, Felix did well.

Anyone else doing some Bright shuttles this Saturday? I'm planning to head up there and have some fun and it might be fun to put some names to bikes i see on here... I'll be on a Black hardtail with a girls (blue/orange) Bell super2R:) maybe see you there:)

You’ll get there. Maybe you should try to assassinate the prime rib of Micronesia. Worked for Zoolander;)
