    It's the time of year to clear out the shed and discover how many parts you've kept around 'just in case'. These are some bits and bobs that aren't worth trying to sell and would otherwise be heading for the dump/bikestation.

    I'm based in Stenhouse/Saughton if you want to pick up or I can easily make it to the meadows or the general city center.

    *26" front wheel with bolted axle

    Bearings have been recently repacked and run very smoothly. Rim runs totally true and all the spokes are fine. I believe I stopped using this as I thought the rim was wearing a little thin from braking - it's done quite some distance. Might be fine for light use with a low pressure tire depending on your judgement.

    *26" front wheel, no bearings

    The same thing as above but there's no axle or bearings. Rim on this is fine. I've tried transferring the bearings from the above wheel to this one but they don't fit.

    *26" bolted axle rear wheel with freewheel

    Bearings on this are on their last legs. Ran it for hundreds of miles with badly pitted races. Still works well enough for a beater bike and the rim/spokes are fine - could use a little truing up though. Has a 6 speed freewheel that has also seen better days.

    *generic knobby tire

    About 1.95" wide, pulled off an old hybrid, never got much use so in decent shape.

    *Avid BB5 Caliper, no pads, post mount

    Works fine but is missing the clamp bolt, easily replaced/bodged.

    *High5 energy starter pack

    Got this last week in an order from chainreaction. I don't get on well with these things so I'll be giving it a miss.

    I have some more parts that I'll be selling (cheap) soon.
