Hello
I was wondering if you could help me with this problem - on this build: http://www.pedalroom.com/bike/ribble-57cm-dream-bike-no1-19933, I have these pedals, brand new: media.performancebike.com/images/performance/products/1500/50-7650-SIL-ANGLE.jpg
The problem is that I have been riding on that bike like mad for almost a month now, and the pedals are still not very smooth. They are smoother than they were when I got them, but still not smooth as for example my MKS Sylvan track pedals that I bought in used condition. There is like this black plastic adjustment ring to tighten and loosen the pedals (no.2 on the picture of the pedals). I tried moving it with pliers to both directions and I couldn't get it to move at all. Any idea on how I could make them smoother? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I only wanted Dura Ace bearings... The geometry components were meant to be Italian and the drivetrain Japanese... I know Gazzetta isn't exactly slim, but I love the geometry, the colour, I love Cinelli, so I thought it could be sorted out. I still haven't bought the frameset...
Basically now I'm looking for a metallic red frameset with slim tubes 1" threaded fork, 35mm rake or less available in 58-60cm sizes and price less then £400. Oh and aesthetically I really don't it when the top of a fork looks flat like this:
https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-6bRT7pftK0k/TtDKMzR1f_I/AAAAAAAAFCs/My4cSV8jWnc/s512/IMG_2712.jpgI prefer more aero look, such as this:
http://www.somafab.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/soma_fork_es_red.jpgAnd then I really don't like a welding on a seat tube such as this:
http://hilarystone.com/images/sale%20images/frames/chrome-track-on-whls.jpg
and much prefer these:

That's because the industry has moved on (for the better). Just get over it and learn to love threadless headsets. You say you want Dura-ace everything, but then why not a Dura-ace seatpost? You say you like everything to be slim, but the Gazetta is a modern steel frame with oversized tubes. It's all just arbitrary rules in your head.
Keep the fork, and use the extra cash to buy a Nitto ct-80, I think those are super sexy on steel frames.

It might be worth mentioning that a good part of the stain will be the rim itself being worn away. As you brake with either type of pad a small amount of the metal will be taken off the rim which for most rims makes a very fine blackish metal dust(aluminum oxide). Only way to avoid it building up too much and looking unsightly is spending a few minutes each week cleaning it off.
Disc brakes, brakeless, roller brakes, coaster brakes ect ect.
I didn't realize it could be the rim wearing away!
Thanks for your responses.

The shim you linked too goes inside the fork steer tube before you slot the quil stem into it. You would still need to get a threaded fork or clamp above the headset like an ahead stem does.
I can think of a few 1 1/8 threaded headsets but the forks aren't threaded so unless you plan to swap/modify them to make them threaded it's not going to work.

http://www.condorcycles.com/Headsets/8165-Condor-Uno-Headset/flypage.tpl.html
ect ect list goes onI think it's going to come down to a choice of which parts you like most/least to sacrifice.
Maybe? Have seen a few of these on builds that didn't look totally "ahead".
I considered that one and also Nitto NJ-89, but I still wouldn't be able to use the DA headset :(
Have you tried an inverse shim?
Which particular one do you have in mind?
If a Gazzetta is your dream bike I recommend a dream upgrade.
What is your dream bike?
Thank you all very much for the responses! I think if I had to sacrify one of the components, it would be the fork. Then I could get a 1" threaded fork, which means I could use the DA headset HP-7410 using shims for the headtube and also my Cinelli XA Quill Stem, but I couldn't find a 1" fork that would fit or look nice on the 60cm red frame!

Hello,
basically I'm planning to buy different parts for my dream bike. F+F I'm using is Cinelli Gazzetta Bel Rosso 60cm, which has 1 1/8 fork. I wanted all the bearings on my bike to be Dura Ace, but Dura Ace don't make 1 1/8 headset. There is the NJS one, which is 1". I really want to use it along with my Cinelli XA Quill Stem (22.2mm) which will obviously only fit in to 1" forks. Is there a way to do this? (Please refrain from answers such as "no, get a different bike; etc.")
I found this:
http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/alloy-shim-to-fit-1-inch-222-mm-insert-quill-stem-to-1-1-8-inch-forks-prod430/does anyone have any experience with it? Can't work out how it would work..
I don't want to use an A-head stem, because it looks really ugly to me... I like my bike slim and those stems just make them look really bulky.Is there a way I would be able to use the Dura Ace headset on the setup?
Please help!

Hello,
I am getting new H Plus Son TB14 rims in polished version and was wondering if anyone has any experience in avoiding ugly black rubber stains on rims by using transparent brake pads? The only transparent ones I could find were really long and not suitable for road use, are there any used in road cycling?
Cheers
