Where do I get them purty angled quill stems? I did my "over-torque" thing and blew the stem binder bolt on my fixie. The stem is old old old so I don't think I'll be able to find a replacement bolt. I have a feeling all the bike shops around here are going to try to sell me a threadless adapter and new stem. But I like the quilled ones. Any good online sources?
On a side note: Which one of you #$%&*('s put a hex on my mobility?
In the past 2 weeks:
1) My car crapped out...it now overheats constantly instead of occasionally.
2) My Fixie stem binder bolt snapped.
3) My Bottom Bracket on my roadie crapped out.
4) The guy that replaced the BB didn't torque the cranks down enough so they creaked...I fixed that
5) The seatpost collar on my roadie snapped tonight
6) the grocery getter is down for mild repairs
The only transportation I have that is up and running is my $12 from goodwill early 80's Miyata MTB with 2.1 big ass knobbies that aren't a lot of fun on the road. Although you would think they are from all 40 pound FS rigs I see on the streets.
Tally up:
1 Car down
1 Motorcycle down
3/4 bikes down
and the cicada are rotting and stink
