    I have an old front wheel QR BUT the rim is very caved?

    The rim is irrelevant for what I'm looking for. The only purpose is holding up the forks while on the turbo trainer.

    Could you be persuaded to part with it for wine/beer/chutney/cash?

    I shall give it to you and hope it is ok, it has been on a nail on the garage for many years.

    Does anyone have an laldi light bracket the long thin cob type with a square connector and no working light that they'd like a light for or are will to part with the bracket. Mine has snapped I have other lights but would like to get at least one working assembly.

    @steveo - I'm fairly sure I have several spares of those, but won't be able to check until the weekend.

    @winpig - I'd like to give the laptop pannier a go if still available. Am in and out of the office a bit more and making sure I remember everything is a PITA, a dedicated work pannier may be the solution.

    Is available. The wee cover for the slide-out rack clips is in there and the laptop sleeve is accounted for but the shoulder strap needs to be found. I can almost certainly find an alternative grey clippy shoulder strap.

    I have three very old sofas, one from liberty, still quite comfy but very worn out looking. If you have a teenager you are making live in the garage and his/her/other. Pal is over for a sleepover would do nicely. As is over sized. The other two are smaller Laura Ashley numbers faded and the sit on it cushion is thin on one and thinish on the other.

    When the new sofas arrive allegedly on Tuesday (been waiting since June) they are allegedly taking the others away though the courier firm are like We don’t know anything about this as I am afraid the company, next door to Diggers have been a little tricksy.

    With further thanks (and a still outstanding jar of jam to Gembo) I have been making good use of his old wheel:

    Firstly for it's intended purpose as a fork holder for my turbo trainer:

    And then latterly for a Christmas wreath:

    I have a FollowMe tandem attachment to sell. First dibs to CCEers, then Gumtree

    This is a really solid attachment to attach a child's bike to a towing bike - it won't flop from side to side like you see with many of the tag-alongs

    Looking for £150

    I have a pair of 26 inch Marathon Winter tyres for grabs. Need to be picked up from Eskbank.

    I may be looking for a pair of bog standard flat pedals for a bike that I'm donating for Ukrainians staying locally. I hope to find some in the garage but haven't so far

    Anyone need some garage shelving? I've got some "spur" shelving tracks, brackets and shelves going spare. White (light duty), black (medium, presentable shelves) and brown (heavy duty, rusty).

    Light duty track is 70" tall, with some 10x32" mdf shelves (and many more brackets).

    Medium is 78" tall, with finished 30x120cm shelves x4.

    Heavy duty is 2.5m tall and has 18x58" shelves (Contiboard, x6).

    PM me if interested... Might resort to creating a freecycle account, so save me the effort!

    Does anyone want a hamax rain cover? It's free to anyone who can collect it from East Craigs this weekend. We're clearing out and I don't have time to take it to the cycle station. I can't imagine a generic charity should would know what to do with it.

    Folks, getting a new ebike and wondering if anyone wants my gtech for £300?

    Single speed, belt drive, battery has been well looked after. It struggles on steep hills, though part of this might be my enormous mass, but it makes short work of railway gradients like the NEPN and takes the bite of a headwind. I bought it as a minimal maintenance commuter just as I stopped commuting so barely done 900 miles (trying not to do the £/mile maths).

    I want to start getting into the hills running more and don't especially want to be driving more so decided to get a torquier model with gears. Plus, new bike!

    Readvertising, hopefully at a better time of year:

    I have a pair of 26 inch Marathon Winter tyres for grabs. Free of charge, but need to be picked up from Eskbank.

    And a wild card - I have two high capacity batteries for the Cateye Volt 1200 front light. The light has died but the batteries should be okay.

    I have a request, longshot though: does anyone have a couple of old unused 20x1.75" tyres tucked away they'd be willing to part with? I'd like to make my shopping trailer a bit more puncture resistant without spending 80 quid on marathons and I've read about using old tyres to make a "belt" for new ones.

    Would anyone here be interested in a trailgator? My youngest has just moved to a larger bike so we no longer have a use for it.

    Free to a good home (ie any home where it will see use).

    I'll also have a red Frog 55 available soon which I'll be open to sensible offer on.

    I have a mostly unused copy of Zen and the Art of Road Bike Maintenance and another of the Park big blue book of bike maintenance. Would anyone like either of them?
