I recently installed a nice Tech Deluxe (thank you, David!) on the 2003 Road to replace a princess-and-pea-too-long Pearl. The 2003 has an upsloping tt, a high head tube, and a long steerer, so I don't need but a fraction of the Tech Deluxe's long quill above the waterline. This means that there is a heckofalot (English unit) of quill shoved down tight into the steerer. The quill is well lubed with Pep Boys grease, but do I need to worry about it bonding with the steerer? After how long?
I actually cut the quill on the other Tech Deluxe on the 1999 Road of similar build, but that was (he said, blushing) to accommodate a weight saving titanium binder bolt. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Patrick Moore Alburquerque, Nuevo Mexico, Etats Unis d'Amerique, Orbis Terrarum -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
