Does anyone know if these can be bought separately? Going to sell an couple of frames soon and need one of the spacers. CRC don't seem to sell
separately.
Anyone know where I can get one from.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Dave

use a bit of corrugated card or plastic or anything else thats suitable that you may have lying about at home?

I just saw a bit of wood to the right length, drill a hole at each end and zip tie to the frame through the holes.

What druid said. They get chucked out on a regular basis. I reckon a pack of Jammie Dodgers would find you what you seek.

Do people really forget that there are "real" shops out there and CRC are not the complete picture?

What wwaswas said.

Or don't bother, just bubble wrap the entire frame and send it like that as a recent ebayer did to me (it was fien though - steel rer end)

I used a bit of discarded round conduit but in essence it's the same thing as wwaswas is doing.

Alternatively bike shop should help you out, they are a throwaway item so it might be worth mentioning that you want some then popping back in after they've had a chance to put a couple by for you.

Thanks all, will try the bodge wwaswas suggested. Unfortunately I can't get to a bike shop at the moment, as I am stuck in the house due to an illness, so bodge or internet shops are my only options.

Cheers,
Dave

Thanks rp16v. Found one hiding behind the tape measure in an awkward position. Thanks again.
