Hello, I have received and installed the shim. Quick delivery and perfectly adapted to the stem (same width) ! The only thing I have to do now is to finish to install the headset. Strange thing : I have verified the weight of the bike and I'm at exactly 10 kg (22.05 pounds). When I bought the...

Hello Canuckbiker, I didn't know that this piece was named a shim. I did some research yesterday with other words and most of the time, I had results showing me seatpost adapters (presented like adapted to handlebars too - but I could see on the pics that it wasn't the good product, they...

Hello MattiThundrrr, Thank you for the advice about the tool ! 👍 For the fork, the headset and the stem, the three pieces are compatible with each other. The only thing I didn't think of was the diameter of the handlebar. Its 22.2 mm, even in the center of it, and the stem is made for 25.4 mm...

Yes ! :) The original brakes on this bike : Curve OM. Very delicate to adjust but the braking power is nice (considering it's cantilever brakes, of course). When I got the bike, the front brakes weren't correctly adjusted. It took me almost 45 minutes to do something that isn't even perfectly...

Hello, Thank you for your answer, Canuckbiker, and for the warm welcome ! :) I'm aware of the difference between the forks and what that can do for the geometry. I think I can live with it, I'll see. It's so complicated to find forks where I live and at a good price. I bought the headset, the...

Hello, I'm new on the forum, but I read it regularly. Like to see the discussions and pics about very nice bikes. I have a little question today. I purchased, last month, a 1996 14" orange Kona Lava Dome for a good price, in relatively good shape but not entirely with original equipment. The...
