• Trying to replace the stem on my new Aethos. Seems to be a standard setup, but when I remove the top cap and loosen the stem bolts the stem is still rock solid on the steerer. Didn't want to force anything, so I've re-assembled and rung the shop I bought it from. They're going to look at it on Monday, but just wanted to check this isn't normal? Stem should just lift off when the bolts are loosened, shouldn't it?

  • I know you should need to, but I can only remove the stem on my carbon Columbus forks if I loosen the expander bung.

  • It’s normal, take a bit of careful wiggling to get it out.
