Good morning all (well, its morning, not so sure about the good bit in windy/wet South wales.... :-( ) I am continuing a winter project on a very tired NC700X (2012) is it me, or are parts for these bikes exorbitantly high?. I only have a small budget to do the bike and literally wait for the end of the months wages to see if there is any spare cash to buy parts.
I find the more bits I take off this bike, the more I find that needs replacing....
I am currently looking for a rubber chain slider that fits on the swing arm, (it came off in 2 pieces and looks like its been through the business end of a lawn mower...). I am finding them on an internet search at prices around £40.00. Surely there must be a supplier that I can source one from that's cheaper than that?. i am not a skinflint, but 40 quid for a strip of rubber seems a tad expensive.
I would be very grateful if anyone could please point me in the right direction.
NB I would have absolutely no problem with a 2nd hand one as long as its in one piece, so a scrap parts or bike breakers would also be fine.
Many thanks
Pete
