So I have been doing a few upgrades to my Silvertip and I have run into a couple of issues and I wanted to share my experiences and maybe see if anyone has some info that might save me some aggravation.
so first I was thinking of changing my stock V Brakes, I picked up a set of Shimano Deore BR-M590 V Brakes and when I removed the Speedstop Brakes and went to install the shimanos they didn't fit. the Cantilever studs are different but thankfully the bike is aluminum and the studs are replaceable so I ordered some Problem Solvers Replacement M10 x 1.25 studs and I am waiting to see if they work. Does anyone have experience with this.
next I was looking to replace the headset and I can't find any information about the sizing. I think I need a 44mm Zero Stack headset but I don't really want to take my bike off the road for a week to knock out the headset cups to measure it before ordering the part. has anyone here done this?
I appreciate any healp you guys might be able to offer.
