Hopefully you can get it on ebay if not SJS? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19375#post-298774 Mon, 07 Jan 2019 12:28:05 +0000 unhurt 298774@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Aha! I did not Google the part or check SJS because... I guess I assumed Alpine would already have tried that? Will check in with them and note that I'll buy it myself.</p> <p>@neddie that is a good story &amp; bit of problem solving! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19375#post-298768 Mon, 07 Jan 2019 11:43:37 +0000 neddie 298768@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>This reminds me of when I once tried to fill up a car in U S of A at an automated fuel pump. The pump insisted that I enter a US zip code...</p> <p>The only thing I could think of to resolve the situation was to enter Beverley Hills 90210 from the TV show.</p> <p>And guess what? It worked! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19375#post-298759 Mon, 07 Jan 2019 08:50:48 +0000 ejstubbs 298759@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Although it is often possible to find obscure Shimano spares being offered by perfectly respectable and legitimate sellers on eBay, all too frequently they turn out to be located abroad with concomitant high postage costs and/or delivery times. Equally, simply Googling "Shimano" followed by the required part number will usually turn up a number of potential suppliers - usually including SJS, who do seem to have managed to position themselves as the go-to supplier for Shimano bits when no-one else in the UK has the item you need.</p> <p>As chdot says, they're a good company to deal with. Maybe not as ridiculously quick to get stuff shipped as Wiggle/CRC (who sometimes seem to get orders dispatched before I've actually clicked the final 'confirm' button!) but satisfyingly efficient and helpful. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19375#post-298758 Mon, 07 Jan 2019 02:16:21 +0000 chdot 298758@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/hub-spares/shimano-deore-fhm525a-rear-right-lock-nut-unit-y3sp98090/" rel="nofollow">https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/hub-spares/shimano-deore-fhm525a-rear-right-lock-nut-unit-y3sp98090/</a></p> <p>Plus postage. </p> <p>Good company to deal with. </p> <p>Have all sorts of things that other shops don’t (and some things that some shops do have, but don’t get put on their websites). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19375#post-298757 Mon, 07 Jan 2019 00:47:34 +0000 unhurt 298757@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Weird clunking noises from rear wheel of Surly have been diagnosed as a knackered drive-side cone. Alpine say it has to be exactly THAT Shimano part (Y3SP98090 for a Deore XT freehub for dic brake) - only they don't have one on hand. And Shimano are out of stock. And won't have them back in stock again for... SIX MONTHS. </p> <p>Whu? Wha? How long??</p> <p>Barring tracking one down in an other Edinburgh bike shop (they will make enquiries on my behalf tomorrow) is ebay my bestest bet? Alpine also making noises about maybe just getting a new rear wheel, which seems an extreme (and expensive!) reaction. IMO. </p> <p>Advice / suggestions / intel on interchanagability of parts? </p>
