Hi!

Has anybody shipped a frame from Ukraine to Western Europe?
And if so, which was the shipping company?

DHL is quoting me x4 times the price of the frame for the shipping...

I built a bike for the missus, but I calculated wrong and the frame is way to big for her (55cm m/m for a 1.60cm lady...), can barely make the crank turn.

Anybody got a smaller 1" headtube frame? 52cm would be ideal, 53cm maybe it would be pushing it...

Get in touch!

Hi guys!

Has anyone gotten a more classic/80's track frame from Mielec? I mean less LOW/Mash looking one, thinner tubes, 1" headset... I can't seem to find lots of photos in the thread!

Care to share if you did?

The fork is new, what about grease in the steerer? Might have overdone it?

Where would you put it @pdlouche?

Dunno, came with the Gazelle track frame. Seemed fixed with the old fork, but of course I never ride it with that configuration.

I'll give it a try following FFM advice, and otherwise I'll buy a new headset, for 20-30€ I can get my hands on a brand new set and hopefully wave goodbye to the issue...

Nope! I also thought about this, but my logic was, without washer and proper tightening, it gets loose in 10min. Without washer and with proper tightening, it will get loose in 1 hour. At the end the vibrations on the fork will get transmitted to the headset and race, and there's nothing to prevent it from turning... What do you think?

Hi guys,

I've just bought a brand new 1" threaded fork for a new project.
After installing it, I noticed that the steerer didn't have a vertical filing to fit the keyed washer in between the lock nut and the top race.

My not so brilliant idea was to instead of filing of the steerer to fit the washer, to file off the key of the washer. The problem is that now I can't ride for 3 minutes without the headset getting seriously loose.

My plan now is to buy a new keyed washer, to file the steerer and to pray that the sudden and constant loosing and play in the headset was caused by this.

My question is, how do you do it to file a path off the steerer? Have you guys done it before?
By hand and using a normal file is what comes to mind, but I'd really like to avoid fucking up twice in the same area...

Cheers!
Eric

Another question is, if the uneveness is there but is not extreme, how important is for it to be fixed to perfection? In some forum I read something like "is a bike, not a rocket", regarding the same issue. What do u guys think?

I'll give it a try! Thanks Mr. Benek!
