My daughter was playing out on her bike yesterday & I noticed her little friend’s bike was in a pretty poor condition.
Her friend is a really nice kid, but comes from slightly difficult background (no Dad around etc).

Anyway I managed to sort a few things on her bike but it needs a new front tube (20″) and a brake cable, neither of which I had. Could do with both tyres replaced too.

Anyway, thought I’d appeal to the charitable folk of STW and see if anyone had some bits gathering dust they might donate. Happy to pay postage or make a contribution (I’ll finish up buying the stuff anyway if no one can help)

Cheers in advance.

Good on yer… Btbh you can buy thisevitems cheaper than postage in halfords

What Nasher said.
See also Decathlon (if you have one nearby), Wiggle etc.

I’ll have a gander in the tube box at work. We might have a couple of 20″ tubes going spare. Cable inner and outer? I’ll need the outer length as it will be cut from a reel.

Wilkinson do cheap bike bits too

Or tesco

Cheers Sandwich, inner only, outers looked OK (and were a weird pink &white glittery colour, so Might look a bit odd if I just changed one!)

Others – yeah, your probably right but doubt I’ll have time to go into town & was hoping to fix it up for her next weekend.

Where abouts are you?

Ditto here. Where abouts are you?

Just outside St Albans, Hertfordshire

Bump for the evening crowd…

I’ve got a 20 inch tube that never became a ghetto tubeless. Email me your address and it’s on its way. wholestonedave AT aol DOT com

Nice one Scapegoat – just emailed you.

No 20 inch tubes in the box. We must have got shot when we sold the kids bikes. Email in profile for the brake inner.

Cheers Sandwich – YGM.
