    Wanted Ritchey Breakaway Cross under 52cm frame size (S)

    Hi everyone, Looking for a travel bike that I can mount cantilevers/mini-v brakes on. I’m 165cm with a 72cm inseam. I’d be happy with a complete bike, project bikes or even just a frameset to build up. Thank you in advance.

    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. It...

    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?

    Hi everyone. I picked up a ‘94 Stumpjumper recently that came with mostly everything original, and it hadn’t been touched for at least a decade. I started to restore it and I’m having trouble getting this stem off the headtube. I removed the still-intact syncros plastic top cap and kept it...

    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...
