Does your fork move when you lif the bike by the bars or just the stem?
If you loosen the stem and lower it, then tighten it, do you still have the
same issue?

Hmm, I changed my mind about one part. The pro shop are the folks who have
babied your bikes and didn't scratch anything up, I'm afraid I have to
recommend the 40 minute drive.

"Maul the color."
I suppose it's always possible but the job had already been done once and
nothing bad happened so it should be fine. The wrenches they'll use are
good stuff that fit on the flats of the cups well.
What will happen is that bottom cup right on the headtube will be turned a

The stem is moving down by the headset. I put the brakes on and it’s not so
noticeable, but if I lift it by the handlebars I can see and feel that stem
move. The bolts at the stem are tight and max insertion is inside the tube, so
that’s not the problem. I don’t know much about headsets, but I b
Backing up what Ray said then zeroing in on the headset, I'm 99% sure the
pro shop - which hardly ever sees a threaded-style headset anymore - didn't
get the adjustment quite right. Off to REI!

If you hold your front brake on and rock the bike back and forth you should
be able to see if the headset is loose or the stem is loose. The stem is
tightened with the bolt in the center, you can do that yourself, just make
sure the max height/minimum insertion line is below the headset.
If it’
I got anodized headset rings/spacers (and I may be botching the names here,
but I’ll include a photo in the post after this and you’ll see) and had
them installed. I felt that the bike was a little vibratory but it wasn’t

I purchased the Trailcross shoes early last year in preparation for some
bikepacking adventures + flat pedals. Did not go on any extended
adventures but I did ride the shoes a *lot *on day rides. Very, very nice
in hot weather. While wading through streams the shoes dried out quickly.

Thanks again all, Thought I'd post a follow up for what it's worth.
I went with the Five Ten Trailcross - a newish model with mesh upper, and a
little more walking/hiking traction in the sole. So far, I like them,
though I haven't seen how they'll do in more extreme conditions. They're

Greetings. For your consideration is a 57cm Soma San Marcos (v2) 650b in
Tiburon Blue. As you are probably aware, the San Marcos was designed by
Grant Petersen and has Riv lugs and design details. Excellent condition.
A few chips: it’s a used bike. No concerns to mention. Ready to ride.
Jacob,
I have one of these elusive White Rhino 68 cm Atlantis that really DESERVES
a new home. Please contact me via text for pictures and details.

Cleaning out the parts bin of Riv-ish stuff. Shipping (US only) is
additional. Local pickup in DC/Baltimore area is fine.

Handlebars--no tape residue on any. Some amber shellac bleed thru on the
Soma bars only.
