{WANTED} Rear derailleur+ someone to fit it

stephenshields2

Anyone in the Co.Louth area that can help me replace the rear derailluer on my bike?

Or can anyone even tell me how much they cost new, and how much they cost to fit?

(mods, if theres anything in here that breaches the cycling forum charter, please edit away!)

I will really help if you say what kind of bike you have and what model derailleur is currently on it.

Sorry man, bikes are not my strongpoint!!

The bikes only cheap, a BlackHawk Optima.

Well the derailluer on it is destroyed, but it says: Shimano SIS.

Bike has 6 gears at the back, and the 3 big ones at the front!


Sorry if you need more info, just ask!!

Try this derailler - http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=31288

And you'll need one of these cables to make it work - http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=47689

I'd get a new chain too -http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=25427

and this tool to put chain on/take old one off - http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=7962

Technically, the chain replacement is optional. But being as how your new bike broke so explosively and so quickly, I wouldnt trust your old one.

What kind of gear levers does your bike have? The 'gripshift' ones are a bitch to change the cables on.

And youtube for speedy learnings..

GOOD LUCK!

EDIT

Wait a bit before ordering, there are much wiser boardies around than me who might direct you to better things to buy

Bring it to Quay cycles in Drogheda. They are very good in every aspect.

Bring it to your local bike shop. It will cost about the same as getting one from CRC and getting someone to fit it?.
