Long story short: my 1999 match-built (yes, it was lower case "m") Rivendell Road needs a new headset. I tried to install one (two actually, that's a story of frustration and sunk cost) but I need a few more threads on the steerer tube to get this one to tighten down sufficiently, unless I want to keep hunting for a headset that has a taller crown race. I also need the existing threads chased even if I could find a headset that would work with the fork as it is. 1" threaded, of course.
I tried Palo Alto Bikes, and the guy says he may not even know where their steerer tube cutting tool is. They have the fork now, but if they can't find the tool, then I'm out of luck. I would have used Wheelsmith in the past, but they're long gone. As is Cupertino Bike Shop, George Slough, etc. If PAB gives up on this job, and since it's not a new $15,000 carpet fiber wünder-bike for a Silicon Valley Techbro, I can see why it's low priority, I'll have to try someone else. Any suggestions? Thanks, Drew -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
