Suntour VX rear mech or same series similar

[beanzontoast]

I'm looking for a Suntour VX rear mech for a rebuild in progress. With luck, someone may have one in their bit box? I think any of the VX series would fit, but the one pictured is the one I'm trying to replace (the cage is broken on the old one ).

Hoping to avoid Ebay!

I have new ones for £15 or used for £3.+postage. Do you need long or short cage?
Ps I also have loads of other NOS Suntour spares. Double levers £5,rear blocks £10,front£8 and rear mechs from £10 depending on the model.

Bagpuss,
Do

 

[Cyclista]

Hmmm, that was weird!
Anyway, Bagpuss do you have a 6 speed freewheel by any chance, last thing I need to get my Evans back on the road.

 

[bagpuss]

Yes .NOS £10+ Post at cost. Touring ratios mostly.What do need.

 

[Cyclista]

Nice! Erm, I think it's a 12-19 on there at the moment but would like a bit more range than that if possible. 13-24 or somewhere around there.
Thanks.

Aagh,just checked only 5 speed left.

Ps I think I have a 7 speed Sach screw on block . NOS £10 + post

Just stumbled across this thread looking for bits for my new fixie...I have a 6-speed Shimano block if that's what you really want - 14-28, unused. I think I paid £15 for it - you can have it for £10 + post. I never used it because right after buying it I found I could use a 7-speed instead...is there any particular reason you want a 6 rather than 7? Given the choice, I'd go for the 7 every time.

 

[Cyclista]

Swee'pea99, is that a screw on block?? I'm going for the 6 over the 7 because that's whats on there at the moment and I don't want to start changing stuff around as I have managed to all the origional components so far and would like it to be "as new" as it were! If it is a screw on one I'll take it.

Bagpuss, if the one See'pea has is not a screw on then I'll have the 7 speed off you, and just put up with the "that bike wasn't 14 speed comments"!

Hi Cyclista - yup, it's a screw on freewheel. I'll PM you so we can swap basic info.

Are you still looking?
Might have something - I'd have to have a rummage in my garage to check.
