Eine tolle Idee, diese Anleitungen und würde auch gerne mein geliebtes Radtrikot reparieren. Ich habe nur das Problem, dass ich den defekten Schieber von meinem Radtrikot Matera nicht identifizieren kann. Können Sie mir da weiter helfen?

Hallo Rosselba, Prinzipiell steht immer hinten auf den Slidern eine Buchstaben/ Zahlen - Kombi. Anhand der kann man ablesen welcher Slider als Ersatz passen würde.

Links zu den Ersatzteilen könnten besser sein. Komme immer zuerst auf Angebote für neue Kleidung..

Bei ausgeleierten Schiebern hilft es auch oft, diesen an der offenen Seite mit einer Zange leicht zusammenzudrücken. Das hat bei mir schon häufig funktioniert und es geht sehr schnell.

Beste Grüße
