[SenorDingles]

@gladiatorbeastboy no its a 1inch standard stem but most stems are 1 1/8 inch

[MrJimmybeeee]

[billybmxco]

[SenorDingles]

@SeriesSeven777 When re doing it tighten top cap first then side bolts

[thecastman97]

[SenorDingles]

@thecastman97 try adding another spacer under the stem

[DavidisYoon]

I am in need of a new fork and stem, how should i go about looking for the right ones for me?

[SenorDingles]

@DavidisYoon research your frame and see what size fork it takes either 1 inch or 1 1/8

[MrComputereviews]

[bbydick123]

Hey I've got a question, can a 25.4mm stem clamp be used with 26.0mm bars? Would you say its Safe? Stupid? Because I want to get some nitto RB-021 and throw them on my Thomson elite stem.

[SenorDingles]

@bbydick123 Ummn ive only done that with quill stems and had ti work, with machined threadless stems theres no real "give" in them to make it fit

Hey .. I just got a new bike and when i was assembling it after getting it from the mail... i accidentally let the whole fork (bearings and grease and all) fall to my floor and came off its pre-assembled set up ...

when i put it all back together .. and started riding, the turning of my bike became stiff ... i tried loosening the top cap (right now its about to come off) just to turn normally .. do you think it's a grease problem? ... i can't even bike with *no hands* any more like i use to :[

[SenorDingles]

@animecritic look up the headset you have and you should find manual on how the proper order goes on re installing it, the order it goes on makes big difference and making sure its greased enough

[cvelizh]

whats the best cog for a single speed bike 16T, 18T or 20T ?

[SenorDingles]

@cvelizh odd numbers are better since ull get more skid patches, the tooth only matters to help you get your desired ratio you want.
