    Cutting threaded steerer... good idea ?

    Re: Re: Yes that's what i tried to say :) It's just that the total lenght between headtube and top of lockring is less than 40mm and i cut the steerer accordingly. I guess this steerer will only be usable with a low stack headset from now on, but i can't figure out how i could have done it...

    Cutting threaded steerer... good idea ?

    Re: Re: So i've done it and it works but i couldn't respect the 40mm rule... I used a 105 headset and the locknut comes with a plastic seal preventing it to be tightened beyond the seal. I should have popped it out maybe... but now it's done i have have no extra threads beyond the lockring...

    Cutting threaded steerer... good idea ?

    Hi, I'm considering using a threaded fork designed for a long head tube on a shorter head tube frame. The threaded portion is long enough for me to cut the streerer and still have enough threads to adjust the headset. Any opinion against cutting the thing ? Safety hazard or something else i...

    Chorus headset Top Cap

    Hello, I'm looking for a compression / top cap for a Campy Chorus 1" threadless headset. Mine was previously used with a 1/8 stem with shim and thus the original cap was replaced by a random 1/8 cap. Thanks !

    Thank you all for your inputs. I didn't plan to dismantle it - was just trying to find alternative ways to unlock that cassette ring :facepalm: But yeah i'm up for a freehub change. I still have he missing bits (pawls and all), so i didn't hear it explode :D i got it like this and the hole...

    XTR Hub FH-M900 Dissasembly

    Thanks FC. Yes i was asking about the material of the freehub body's ribbed part, where the cassette sits. The cassette lockring is so hard to unscrew i was wondering about corrosion between lockring and hub thread. I tried everything i could (penetrating oil, cheater bar etc) but my chainwhip...

    Frame ID / Info Please :)

    I think there were two different Diamant brands. I don't know about the German one but the Belgian sure did build some nice frames in the 80's - 90's, quite overlooked outside of Belgium. Thanks for the infos !

    Frame ID / Info Please :)

    I bought it as a donor bike and a bit too big for me. To be honest i didn't like the paintjob that much despite it's apparent quality. Besides it shows some scratches here and there so i may be tempted to strip the paint off. But then i'll be looking for the tubing it's made of, just to stick...
