    Hi everyone, Looking for a lightweight, reliable 3x crankset + Rings (also accepting a Deore LX or XT). NOS rings if possible. I’m new to this so forgive me if I’ve not used the right words to describe what I’m looking for.

    SOLVED: How do I get this Syncros Cattlehead off my head tube/steerer tube?

    Looks like just a bit of bad manners and stubbornness, from what I can tell.

    SOLVED: How do I get this Syncros Cattlehead off my head tube/steerer tube?

    SUCCESS!! I removed the handlebar and cables, and used a large spanner wrapped in leftover leather scraps and a towel (for lack of a Mallet) and gave it a reasonably forgivable smack at a point where a sudden shock might evenly distribute that load and not do any damage to the stem itself.

    I’ve removed the wedges as instructed. It hasnt made removing the stem from the steerer tube any easier. Still won’t budge. What would you do next?

    Thank you. I will try this. I’m assuming each wedge comes out in the direction it faces? As in, it’s not just jammed into one horizontal entry hole bored to the same diameter, that allows them to slide in from either direction?

    Short rear MTB mudguard recommendations?

    These are the Ass Savers Win Wing. They’re sold as gravel racer light weight mudguards but they work on anything. Keeps the bike clean and the actual ass savers themselves can be switched out easily. The side frames holding the seat stays are very strong and won’t budge once they’re set in...
