How would that work? Even half of a 22.2 - 31.8 shim will not fit into the 25,4mm clamp of the stem. It still has 31.8mm diameter. And even if it would fit, it does not magically wrap around the handlebar, so it would not make contact all around. Or was this a purely mathematical question if...

Yeah I know the mechanic principles, but has that actually ever happened? Also: Loctite is yor friend. That being said: If there is no concern regarding profit and he can get the work done properly, there is no reason not to rethread them, is there?

There will be some deduction pricewise, no matter what you do. The question is if you´ll get the machine shop costs back if you sell them rethreaded. That´s a difficult question, as there are simply not many examples. Personally I wouldn´t bother to Helicoil them. With symmetrical pedals (for...

Yo dawg, I heard you like suspension ...

:LOL: no numbers (yet?)

I sent him a message already, but more in a "good luck with the sale" kind of manner. I need another bike like I need another wife. I like them all, but love the one(s) I have.

Oof. Right size, right colour, fair price (notwithstanding shipping/customs etc.) That is seriously testing my restraint.

Look like (deep) scratches to me. Cracks look much thinner and more "scraggly" IMO. I´d still remove the tire and check the inside.

Paul Brodies book is ace, unfortunately out of print: https://www.abebooks.de/9780995065802/Paul-Brodie-man-behind-bikes-0995065802/plp The bot calculated prices are hilarious!

Well I thought that the WCS has a soft compound, but 500 miles seems really short? That´s a quarter of a season for me. I wonder if the other versions are similarly fast wearing.

Ah bummer, yeah I´ve had them for a couple of years now and they were already pretty hard to find back then. I think I got them via ebay?

These Innovas aren´t really 2.1. Unfortunately I can´t measure them ATM (not fitted), but someone on here surely can, @joglo maybe?

I have the WCS version in my stash. Like a true retro dork I´ve already removed logos, but did not try them (yet). They are pretty lightweight and thread pattern indeed looks hardly changed from BITD.

Despite the nice parts it´s wearing that´s a bit... optimistic.

Can´t open the Faceballs link, but judging from the headline it´s 3 pounds? I´ll take it then!

Yep I was going to say 270 seems awfully long for 3x pattern and to plug the numbers in a spoke length calculator.

They should all work, and better than the Sachs one. The looks however ... Quality is also not the best, but as per Sheldon Brown it´s the least important bearing on a bike, only used when freewheeling. Dura Ace MF 7400 was another popular (high quality) choice, but the cogs are UG, so not as...

Had to go back and see how the stem looked like before and only then saw where you painted. Result!
