• I intend to place this order by Monday, July 21:

    5) Pyramid Bicycle Seat Binder Bolt, Hex head
    (1) Inline Brake Housing Ferrule 5mm Steel 200/Bottle
    (10) Tire Pyramid 27X1-1/4 Black/Black Rd 70Psi K34
    (30) SBS Flanged Axle Nut 3/8? x 26T
    (30) Hub Axle Nut Pyramid Front 5/16X26 Flanged Imp
    (2) Pyramid Steel Touring Bicycle Brake Lever Set
    (6) Pyramid Brake Part Yoke Chrome Plated
    (1) Cable Tip Pyramid Alloy Sil Bottle/500
    (1) Uno Seatpost SP-264 25.8 x 350mm Silver

    $123.76

    The Uno seatpost is for me, I will reimburse.

    The Pyramid Steel Brake Levers are to replace what I used on the Arpan and one pair for the shop for the other Arpan or similar project.

    We may need an interim tyre order from Performance to hold us over until the Niagara tyres arrive.
  • How about some BB parts. I go digging for replacement cups and spindles a lot and usually only find ones in the drawer that are already damaged:
    - Bottom Bracket Cup Set Pyramid 1.37X24 Eng, item#10308
    - Pyramid Bicycle Bottom Bracket Bearing #27 9X1/4 3 Piece, item# 11189
    I couldn't find replacement spindles listed on Niagara, do you know if they have them?

    Also just to check, are some of the axle nuts above for the hubs we got from the wheel builing class?
  • please add nipples, 14g, brass, to the order.

    also, we are in need of more brake cables (universal, 20 sets) and BMX chainring bolts (10 sets).

    hmm, i created a sticky on the shop computer's desktop. will go there and double check later today.

    thank you harv.

  • Also head set lock rings... I couldn't find any with out taking a complete set apart. Are these the same size as BB lock rings used on single speeds? If so... lets get a bunch....
  • Dave, your requested items added. Spindles are almost non-existant at the moment at Niagara. Axle nuts will fit our NOS steel wheels.

    Linda, cables and bmx chain ring bolts ordered. Nipple come in 1/2 inch and 5/8 inch. I ordered the latter. Let me know if this is not OK.

    Steve, I don't know what you mean by head set lock rings. Head sets have lock nuts, is this what you mean? Not the same as BB lock rings. BB lock rings not available from Niagara. "Wald" headset lock nuts ordered (see below for entire current order).

    Some items are for me or JHarv, will be reimbursed. i.e. seat post, white cable housing, 24 inch tyres, fat 700 tyres, a few chains.

  • One other thing that just came up: Our tin of cement for patches got spilled somehow, and I found it stuck to the floor with all the cement in a puddle. If they sell it, we should try to get a tin of the Rema vulcanizing fluid; it's mucho awesome!
  • OK, 8 oz. Rema cold patch cement added to order. $11.03 for one can.
  • Jon is the Rema stuff that much better/ The Victor Monkey Grip stuff we have been using is $4.99 at Kragen for the same 8 oz......
  • The glue is the same as Elmer's Rubber Cement. You kin pick it up at just about any corner store (like Rite-Aid, etc.).
  • If we haven't missed the order.....

    Some people on the ibob list LOVE and swear by the Rema stuff. I've never used it but would love to test some. So get me a bottle.

    Harv, thanks for the info on the headset lock nuts,

    Winona would like to order.....

    2- Tire Pyramid 27X1-1/4 Black Tread / Gum Wall Rd Hp90 K35
  • OK, I will order one for you, and if it works out, I will order one for the Oven next time.

    And I will order the tyres for Winona.
    .
  • The nice thing about the Rema glue (to me...) is that it's a little thinner than the rubber cement. You only need a thin layer to glue the patch down, and the rubber cement always seems to come out in a big glob, and is very difficult to get a thin layer down. Maybe that brush just sucks, but I've never had to reglue a patch with the Rema cement either.

    If we could find a way to thin out the rubber cement, then I'm all for it.

  • wow... thanks for getting that together.... Christmas in july... wooppee...
  • Niagara order was received yesterday (8/4/08) and all items placed into stock. Last night I cleared away a space behind the counter and above the existing new parts cabinet and placed the yellow small parts bin there. I labeled and placed the new small parts in the drawers and priced them. PLEASE do not crap up this area.

    Winona's tyres came in and she reimbursed us for the amount. Steve's vulcanizing fluid is back-ordered. My items came in and I will reimburse. JHarv's items came in and he owes $25 reimbursement.

    We can now just check this parts cabinet and order more of these small parts when necessary. The parts price list was revised and will be posted under the glass counter top.

    Inside the new parts cabinet below the yellow parts rack are the new BB cup sets, new drive chains, new cogs, new cables, etc.
  • Working from memory, I added the items discussed last night to the current Niagara parts order. Note that the chain ring and seat post are for me, to be reimbursed.

  • Just saw this already sent you some info in an e-mail :
    double check the 1/2 brass nipples price went way up - 8x higher think we should find another source if price is accurate ($.80 a nipple seems a little high.....)

    Three more of each of the Sturmey Archer items cable,connector, indicator(6 each)
    Three more Z30 chains (13 total)
    some other misc items in the e-mail
    Thanks
  • I'm going to make a chain suggestion. A lot of the bikes that come through and we fix up end up being seven or eight speed bikes (especially the mountain bikes, but several road bikes too). Let's throw a couple of 7/8 speed chains in there for those bikes, and make them available to anyone who needs them. I know a couple of people whose bikes we couldn't get to shift smoothly because the chains were just a hair too wide for the front derailleurs (which were perfectly good 8spd derailleurs, so there was no reason to swap them out).

    I'm pretty sure the Z chains come in a 7/8 speed size:

    http://www.niagaracycle.com/product_info.php?products_id=2450

    http://www.niagaracycle.com/product_info.php?products_id=2437

    Both are not much more expensive than the Z30 chains that we're buying, and will work with the increased number of cogs in the rear.

    Also, $0.80 a nipple is WAAY to expensive for nipples. Even if they are Wheelsmiths. These are much cheaper:

  • we're down to one set of the bmx single chain ring bolt sets. We went through 9 sets since last order,still a bargain at $2.99 a set. Say we order at least 16 plus 4 for myself. :
    Item 51457 - chain ring 5 bolt set (20x2.99 =59.80).
    also
    item 1008 - brakepads add (2) more cards for personal use 2x6.99=13.98
    Thanks

  • Looks good!
  • Niagara order received. I sorted and checked all items. OOS (out of stock are: Sturmey Archer indicators and rear cable hangers. All other items will be brought to the shop tomorrow, Monday.

    Dave: You can use these order lists, above, as a basis for items that we get from Niagara. By comparing the lists, you can see which items are frequently ordered. Offhand, I would say that brake and shift cables are the most frequently used item. Then come chains.

    I will reimburse $21 for my items. I also took 2 10mm axle nuts and one brake cable to replace my own new stock that was used on an RTR bike.
  • I am putting together another Niagara order for badly needed tools and parts:

    100 each Pyramid Bicycle Rim Grommets for Presta valves $35.00
    20 each KMC Z30 Chain 5/6 Speed 1/2" x 3/32" x 116L Black $91.40
    6 each Pyramid Bicycle Chain Breaker Tool $23.70
    6 rolls Inline Brake Cable Housing 50 foot roll x 5mm Black $30.48
    10 Tape & Plugs Pyramid Plastic Black $16.80
    10 Inline Cork Handlebar Tape w/ Caps Black $50.80

    Sub-Total: $248.18
  • FYI - we have eight 3/32" chains and nine 1/8" - not sure if that affects your order qty
    Also, not sure if Niagara is best source, but we are down to one single-speed freewheel (17t)
  • The 3/32 chains in the shop's inventory are for single-speed drive trains only. They will not work for multi-speed derailleur systems as they are too wide and use a master link (included). Check the description on the box. This is the chain we should be using on any SS conversion jobs. The above order does not include any 1/8 inch chains.

    I will add some 17t ss freewheels to order.
    .
  • I did not know that. Can whoever is there next write "single speed only" in marker on those chains? I'm sure there'll be some confusion on what works with what if it isn't made very clear. Thanks Harv
  • Where did these chains come from? If you didn't order them, and I didn't order them, maybe they came from the old pigeon stock?
  • I don't think they came from FPLA. Maybe Steve and I bought them when we got stuff from that shut down bike shop? I don't think so, but it is possible. Not sure...
  • Here is the Niagara order that I just placed. The chain tools were deleted upon JHarv's advice that they are no good. I added two "red" spoke wrenches as requested on shop "want list". These are half the price of the Park items, we will see if they are any good.

    10 sets Inline Cork Handlebar Tape w/ Caps Black $50.80

    20 each KMC Z30 Chain 5/6 Speed 1/2" x 3/32" x 116L Black $91.40

    100 each Pyramid Bicycle Rim Grommets $35.00

    10 sets Tape & Plugs Pyramid Plastic Black $16.80

    6 Rolls Inline Brake Cable Housing 50 feet x 5mm Black $30.48

    10 each Shimano MX 17 Tooth Single Speed Freewheel 1/2" x 3/32" compatible $98.40

    2 each Inline Spoke Wrench .136 80g / Red $6.76
    .
    .
  • Don't we have a bunch of new cable housing on a reel near the front tool cabinet???
  • We do have some black shifter cable and a small amount of blue brake cable, but no black brake cable at all.
