Finally Dumonde Tech Pro X Freehub grease is available locally. Reccomended for I9, P321, and DT hubs. Hopes just need blue marine grease.

I was able to buy some from the I9 distributor (Dawson Sports) earlier this year, but was $25 for 1oz. This is cheap, $30 for 2oz!

Edit: I got the oil not grease, I thought they recommend the oil for the freehub?

Edit 2: oil for loud or grease for quiet!

Oil for noise, grease for less noise.

Oil for cold climates, grease for warm climates. The oil leaks out if it gets too hot.

Didn't @nathanm buy one of these real cheap from crc?

I think that was before covid really fuxxored things and was old stock as I remember looking back when I saw his post and seeing no longer available, there's still nothing cheap on crc or wiggle.

Yep, I think it cost me about $260ish AUD. It's actually really good for a basic fork and I forget it's not a Pike when riding. They do rattle but I got mine fixed free from the Aus wholesaler Bicycle part wholesaler? I think.
Someone in Tassie is selling what looks like an OEM one but other than that I don't think they're available anywhere at a reasonable price.

Are sitewide sales (10-15% off) a thing of the past at pushys/wiggle/crc/etc.. ?

No...but they usually only apply to shit they don't actually have to sell and you get referred to full Australian retail price alternatives.

It does if you're a Platinum member at Wiggle. 12% off site wide

The only drawback to that is that I've run out of money..

When I'm looking for a large, there's nothing but mediums but when I'm looking for a medium

This would be a solid price pre covid, but with the covid tax it's a flat out bargain

That ‘in stock’ worries me. All the scam listings recently looked like that.

I thought that was just bookface marketplace speak for "not sold"?

I saw a pattern with scam bikes, that I hadn’t really seen otherwise....it’s not a golden rule though. Message me the link.

This seems like a good deal - don’t need it very often but will make life so easy when I do need it. Got it from ebay

Got an 1150 cassette off Pushy's on fleabay for $160 shipped. Use the PLEAT20 discount code for 20% off the RRP of $199.

 

[droenn]

Used the pushys ebay code as well, nice!
