Title: Source for Friction Ring (Older)
Post by: AeroChris on June 10, 2015, 04:16:02 PM
Hello Everyone,

I need to replace the friction ring on my Stradic 2500FH. It still had the black one in it that had become soft and mushy. Everywhere I have looked online seems to have these listed as out of stock. The part number I believe is RD 7804.

Does anyone know who has it in stock or which other friction ring might fit in its place?

Cheers,

Chris

Hey Chris --

Welcome!

If you post a pic, with a ruler for reference -- you will get more response.

I have a lot of NOS Shimano parts -- but some of them are mixed up wth other parts from shops out of business.

So, at least for me, a pic is quick and easy to possibly help you -- along with the number you already provided.

Best,

Fred

Thanks for the quick reply Fred. Unfortunately my ring has been reduced to a rubber ball. Here is a photo (http://www.ereplacementparts.com/friction-ring-p-1547091.html) of the replacement version Shimano used to stock. I hope linking to another site is not against the rules but it's the only image I could find. I think the ruler is in Inches.


Cheers,

Chris

Thanks, Chris --

Someone will have one --

I will also check -- but cannot do so until tomorrow, due to personal obligations.

Best,

Fred
