fourteen quid for a blanking plate? I’d just stick an ali/plastic bolt in.

But then you’d have an exposed direct mount AND a bolt on show.

thats the thing but really… £14….. sessshh

Donk.
i know it’s faffy but i have a red frame and it would leave a silver mount plate on show.

and far more important things in life to worry about

ON a similar line, can I buy a direct mount that I can attach to my non-direct mount frame?

I have a lovely direct mount derailleur, but no direct mount on my frame.

edit google says yeah dunno about local outlets
evans and others do “direct mount” but they don’t look to be the right type

Thanks, that’s sort of useful. I’ve seen problem solvers stuff on ebay before, so just checked. Yes they will sell me one. But it costs mroe han just buying the right mech. So ‘ll do that and keep the direct mount one in case so I can convert my SS to gears if I ever need a race bike.

Hippy how could you, can’t do that!!!
I need to buy some overpriced POS to cover it.

I’ll tape you up when is see you over Kinver!!!! 🙂

Unused direct-mounts need covers? I just leave mine alone and get on with life.

I don’t know how I live with myself.

Glad your happy….

I got Ubyk to chuck it in as part of the deal on my SB66c, as it was going XX1 from the start. 14 quid is crazy, but once its done you forget how much it costs and it just looks neat 8)

Ibis will sell you one.

I’ll sell you a second hand yeti one for £8?

I’ve just put a bolt in my whippet’s one to stop the crud
getting in the threads !
