Source for small part(s)???
I hope I have the correct place for this simple question.
Bike: older Ross touring with Shimano 3 speed read hub w/handlebar shifter. I need to replace the long knurled adjuster with locking nuts that connects the shifter cable to the hub lever unit. Can anyone recommend where I can find this/these parts? 1) on the Internet (which site)? 2) local bike shop? 3) specialty shop? 4) out of luck? Thanks |

Good luck, Mark |

Can anyone recommend where I can find this/these parts? 1) on the Internet (which site)? I didn't come up with one immediately, but I've found them on occasion before. This is the type of hub that has a lever arrangement on the end of the axle, right? Shimano has changed the design for their later version, and I'm not sure if the new-style bellcrank will fit the older hubs. If it will, the part should be available, but I'd have no idea about the cost. 2) local bike shop? Probably a good place to start. 3) specialty shop? Particularly a shop that has lots of old bikes that they salvage out. You might also consider shopping for a cheap complete bike with the needed part from garage sales and thrift stores, if you're not in a terrible rush to get it. I've paid as little as $5 for 3-speeds there. 4) out of luck? It should not be an impossible task. -- Typoes are a feature, not a bug. Some gardening required to reply via email.
