Wanted: Bike Parts/Tools

I thought that before going out and buying these parts new, I'd ask around to see if anyone would have these parts/tools as spare:

- sram or shimano shifters (cables and housing) for 8 speed mountain bike, 1" Quill stem (mtb)

- bike tools (chain-breaker, wrenches)

If you have these things and are looking to get rid of them, I'd be interested in buying them. Let me know.

Thank you.

DO you have Sram or Shimano derailleurs?

It makes a difference on which shifters will work...

Then you need Sram shifters; Shimano has a different pull ratio. Fronts will interchange but not the rears.

Not necessarily Mr. Dug. Depends upon the model of SRAM. Only the 1:1 ratio shifter/derailleurs weren't compatible. The others were meant to work with Shimano. MRX stuff works for Shimano. Any SRAM #.0 stuff is 1:1 actuation and only works with the specific SRAM.
