The man at the store today fixed my gear but said some of the cables might need to be fixed and stuff. I decided to hold off to fix that to see if the college bike store can for free. If not, I will have him do it.
As for the stem, they gave me a few options. They said a 90mm stem would probably work well but mentioned some sort of type of stem where it is in 2 pieces. They said the stem quill size is standard at 22.2 but the handlebar clamp is 25.4 which I guess is a little big. He mentioned some sort of adaptor as well as a stem. One part was 15 and the stem was 30. I decided not to switch it for the moment to see if I could find parts cheaper that are used. Would you recommend city bike co-op? This is what they mentioned. What about the two part system? How is it better/different?
And I will post pictures once my bike is all fixed and pretty!
