When I look at our stocks of headset bearings, disc pads, hydraulic fittings, bb standards, these "service parts" stock storage areas are now mostly 4x bigger than in 97.'Incompatability all over the place'
Surely this isn't limited to post 98? Fit cantis to a U-brake frame? 27. 2mm post in a 26.8mm seat tube?, 68mm bb in a 73mm shell? 1 1/8" fork in a 1" head tube? HG cassette on a UG hub? 126-130-135 axles? It's never had standards that were actually standards for long, apart from maybe saddle rails and pedal threads and even those have been messed with, it just didn't stick.
