New Departure 2 speed

[RustyK]

I'd like to pick up a ND 2 speed setup and am curious to know what should the going price be for a complete new departure 2 speed setup be, with hub, and without hub?

I'm in the same boat. A seller on ebay has them for $450, but I saw a set of wheels (front too with tires), the the 2 speed hub in the rear, shifter, cable and all the little bits got for $250 about a year and a half ago. I still kick myself for not hitting the bid button fast enough. They seem to hover around $350 on here for the hub, shifter, cable, brackets, etc. And sell fairly quickly at that price.

I'm looking at the $450 setups on ebay and I was also thinking it seems like $100 too much. No rush for me, i'll wait. Really don't need the hub either.

I agree 350 is about the going rate. That's why I jumped on the Hawthorne I bought at the swap meet last weekend, mainly for the DD set up. There was a ladies schwinn on the local craigslist that was pretty rough but had a complete 2 speed setup and a locking springer. I would have grabbed it for those parts but someone beat me to it.

I think $450. is too much. And that seller either has 100s of these set ups, or never sells any..... I think he has two of them listed right now.

Replacement cables?

does anyone sell a replacement cable for these? I see bicycle bones has what appears to be the correct one for $75.

$300-$350 is the price range with hub, cable, pulley and shifter. Just the hub I wouldn't pay more than $220 shipped. If you aren't in a rush, monitor the CABE forsale section. They pop up every month. They are usually a lot cheaper than anything on Ebay. Look for the package deals you can't lose with those. A shifter alone goes for $75-$135. A pulley can cost you $45-$85. The cable alone which is hard to find goes for $75-$125. Do the math. I picked up a mint condition hub with the correct cable, shifter and pulley for $300 on the CABE.

Don't waste your money on the original cable. I swapped out the end of the crank bell and replaced it with a Shimano 3 speed end. Then I purchased the Shimano 3 speed replacement cable. The L shaped bracket which attaches to the shifter can be purchased at Home Depot. Total cost about $23. You probably have most of the parts you need in your house.

AS you can see I already swapped out the parts I needed from the modern Shimano bell crank.

I use this on the shifter with a little grinding or filing you can round down the edges. A touch of paint and you are done.

I think they aren't selling at that price, actually he has 4 right now.
