Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Further evidence of the long term effects of doping:
Lance can't even qualify for the Beer Mile world championships
I know what my training aims are for next year

always feel sad in these cases that an lbs might have sold someone a bike they knew was the wrong size.
Stil have to get my steerer cut myself, there's a fugly 15mm above the stem;(
Yup. I feel sad for bikes that are too big as well, and have saddles slammed into the seat tubes. They look so squashed. At least you can stack spacers onto a too small bike and get an enormous seat post. I think they have racy potential! But their squashed brethren? There's not a whole lot you can do to make that even try to make them fit
At least your spacers are above your stem!0 -

Tru. I'd personally worry a little with that many spacers and overlong stems creating excess torque someplace.
I do have spacers below... The shame0 -

And that bottle cage belongs on a vintage ride
I will offer to take the bottle cage off him. I'll be super generous and take the bike with it
And ssssh…no one can see your spacers here!
I have a quill stem on my track bike (and all my bikes currently but that will change soon hopefully!) and in an effort to get the bars down as low as possible I 'slammed' it into the frame. I then started a race and by the first bend the bars were going sideways and the bike was going straight on :eek: The wedge at the bottom of the stem had no head tube to wedge into, I'd pushed it down too far
So you can go too low. Stack at will!0 -

I didn't like quill stems, but I was riding a 56 univega way too small for me back then and pushing 53x16 OUCH0 -

Anyone familiar with Canyon bikes, specifically their 2014 Roadlite range from late last year to early this year? I'm sure this applies to plenty of other bikes with carbon forks as well. I'd like to swap to a slightly shorter stem, but the last time I attempted removing the top cap and bolt to move some spacers up, I messed it up quite stupidly because I didn't really understand how the bolt works (I'm pretty sure it's some variety of expansion plug), and ended up taking the bolt out and losing the rest of the mechanism somewhere down the steerer tube
The lbs had to come to the rescue. Do I just need to loosen it a little bit, and then lift the whole thing out? 0 -

If it is a hollow tube then take off the "cap" by sticking your finger in and pulling it off... then just loosen the screws on the stem. Don't yank it off, just twist it side to side. Be careful of the spacers being stuck onto the stem.0 -
