Dirt Disciple
I have a 1993 RC200 I would like to get sorted and use it again. It has a 1" headset, about five years ago I bought a pair of 1" RC31 forks when they came out.
It currently has a 1" syncros aheadset and a 1" Syncros cattleprod aheadstem. The plastic top cap will not withstand the torque required to tension the headset properly, and never has. The headset / stem also works itself loose slightly when I ride the bike
Is it possible to either get an alloy topcap for the syncros stem (unlikely) or a shim to allow the use of a 1 1/8" aheadstem?
thanks
