    New bike, steerer too short.

    Had a polite chat with the shop and explained the issue. They offered to swap the stem on the condition that the existing one was unmarked. Or a free install if I buy a new CSU (not cheap). Not kicking up a fuss about it yet, just considering my options. But I am not really happy either. It's...

    New bike, steerer too short.

    Ok I have a bit of a tricky situation. I recently bought a new bike and when I picked it up I found that the steerer had been cut so short that no spacers can be fitted. Also the fork appeared to be a different one to the one on the bike at the time I paid for it (different colour stickers). The...

    Tell em he's dreaming

    This one been on ebay for months. Bonus laughs for how he lists a bicycle blue book entry that shows the bike at about one tenth the starting price. Also "current driver licence details will be recorded prior to inspection". Fair enough, you never know when you're going to get rolled for all...

    Had a set of wheels built. Lacing looks weird.

    Ok, that makes sense. So all is good then.

    Had a set of wheels built. Lacing looks weird.

    They have no tape yet. When I say left offset, I mean left when looking at the rim from the outside.

    Had a set of wheels built. Lacing looks weird.

    Hi all, I had a set of wheels built from a reputable shop and when I got them home I noticed something weird about them. The spokes from the left offset spoke holes go into the right flange and the spokes from the right holes go into the left flange. Now I always thought that left goes to...

    Niner cya insert and BB install question

    Just had a thought. Since the non-drive side insert has no flange, without the shim (which is larger than the internal diamter of the bb shell) there is nothing stopping the whole bb assembly creeping to the right apart from the force of the press fit. Thinking it must go on the non-drive...

    Niner cya insert and BB install question

    Hello everyone. I'm installing a good old Shimano m770 external BB crankset in my new Niner air9. I'm using inserts provided to me with the frame. The drive side has ~1mm flange and non drive has no flange and presses in flush. I was also supplied with a ~1mm spacer. So which side does the...

    Mail order frame arrived damaged. Repair or replace?

    The seller wants me to ship the frame back and will send out a replacement. Understandable but the size exceeds Australia Post restrictions. Not looking like this is going to end well. I wonder if it even possible to repair the frame since the headtube is no longer round and the headset cup...
