How long do brake pads last in storage? I've seen bikes come into the shop from the 70s and 80s with period brake pads that did a decent enough job of stopping the bike. |

Am I going to do any damage by swapping cassettes frequently? It's cool man. I was born in the 80s too! Pretty much every bike component has changed since then. Everything except the bottom bracket shell. |

Am I going to do any damage by swapping cassettes frequently? You can't crossthread a cassete. You could crossthread the lockring maybe. |

Gap between fork and frame Do not remove the bearing. It sounds like the steer tube on your new fork is too long for your head tube. Post back with a picture if possible and we should be able to clear up the problem. |

How can I remove a fork if the bolt on the stem is rusted? @Andres so your stem is stuck in place? Generally you would just loosen the bolt that is holding it in place by about 1/4 inch, then whack the bolt with a hammer. This will dislodge the wedge that holds the stem in place. If this doesn't work it likely means that the stem is either fused or rusted into place. In that case, you start by letting it soak in penetrating oil and then trying to remove it. If this doesn't work you will need to resort to more extreme measures. |
