Hey Scrod, a couple of torque questions if you happen to know:
1. Torque Specs for the protype iso bottom bracket? Mine only came with a box and bolts, no manual. Should I just go off of Sugino 75 bb torque specs?
2. Nitto UI-21EX stem? Both faceplate and clamp? I might have to make a separate thread for this one, I searched high and low and couldn't find anything. Does the UI-85 come with a guide, do you think it might be similar to the 21EX?
Thanks.

Hey Scrod, would you know where I can find an Italian Threaded bottom bracket with a 103mm JIS spindle length? Don't mind if its track or road oriented. I just got a pair of dura ace cranks for my EMX. :/ Thinking of a hybrid using Italian cones with a track spindle or something..

Also, if it is a small cut in the tire I will sometimes super glue the hole. just make sure the tube is out when you do this. I find it lasts surprisingly long

Scrod, will White Lithium grease be ok to use when I take apart and clean/regrease my bb? Or should I be using something else?

Anything that for one reason or another would last longer or be smoother?

Because the design is nearly identical, I would use the torque specs for the Shimano UN55. Installing a sealed cartridge BB is really a no-brainer though.
As for the stem, I have no idea...

How do you remove stripped Allen heads at the shop? A guy brought in a bike for me to work on the other day and to call him ham-fisted would be an understatement.

On a few occasions I've taken a Dremel and carefully cut a notch, then used a flathead screwdriver (if the head is fully recessed, this may not work) but if it's really bad, you'll need to use an extractor.

I figured as much, didn't think about cutting a notch though. Thanks dude!

I like to take a Torx bit of the next larger size and tap it into the head of the screw with a mallet. 50% of the time, it works every time.

I contacted Leader waiting for a response but since you are a dealer I would ask you, is it possible to get a replacement front emblem (think thats the correct word) for the 722ts frame? the one citygrounds sent me was crooked and when I took it off it got messed up.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I'm sure you'll hear back from Leader at some point. Considering the 722TS is no longer made and the Heritage Edition has a different head badge, you may be up the creek.
Oh, and from the very first post in this thread:
