  • Popped the drops on for a look and I definitely prefer it. Also picked up a pretty well used but cheap chainring for £10.

    Was having trouble getting the stem down into the steerer though - anyone else experienced this? It’s a cinelli stem. The SR was snug but went in okay - the cinelli won’t go in past an inch and leaves scratches?

  • Is the steerer full of gunk/grease/rust? Use a wad of wire wool and give it a cursory scrub out. Might help. Then again, it might not. Got to be worth a try before ruining the stem.
