Right. Be gentle with me - I think I'm being thick. How is my fork attached to my frame? I's wobbling alarmingly, and I don't know what to tighten. |

*think* its my top cap bolt - looks, from highroadcycles.com that when I moved some spacers from below to above the stem I should have tightened this *before* the stem, not after. Soes that sound right?

yes, tighten the top bolt first. Be careful not to overtighten it as you'll end up with the trouble john described yesterday.

Right, just gone back and checked the bit with John. Spot on - will try in a minute, assuming I've got some allen keys here.

Me too - its been like that since just after the Eton Supersprints. Fortunately, I don't appear to have killed myself.

For those moments when rhb isn't around and neither of his magic links work... highroadcycles.com (I'm posting this on "BIKE THREAD" *and* "TriSport Fetch: Smell of 220", lest anyone thinks I've gone ctrl-v mad...) |
