hi, i have a problem...you know..slamming that stem..however when i removed the last part of the spacers, i'm left with a gap, there is no covers..what i need is perhaps the zero stack headset? i went to shop but they ask for the diameter size, bearing and stuffs...
how to know the size ler?? help me...
you need a upper cup to replace your the big conical shaped spacer as that was designed to be like that.. most likely FSA made a similar model with a lower stack height...
they can take out the for and measure the steerer to find the correct headset size...but looking from the merida site.. FSA BB410 headset seems to point to a 1 1/8" semi integrated headset... that should be enough for them to get your one...
yeap..you are right...zero stack is the way to go if you want that slammed look...
i think ritchey and cane creek has a lot of ZS headsets....

thx man...as long as it is 1 1/8" then any brand also can right? or should i get the FSA model for a peace of mind since currently im running on FSA..the standard conical one as you mentioned above.
CK explanation is a bit too much of details. it's good but somehow I got lost somewhere in the middle of the article
I was planning to buy and fix it myself, but I need to chop that extra steerer off. Hence I better bring my bike over to the bike shop, WHICH i really would like to avoid. Apart from having to bring my bike with a cab (i got no cars here), the servicing charge is damn expensive. around 300 for full service..blergh..
I resort to be my own mechanic though...haha. I would like to change the cassette on my own, is it difficult? any guidance? I know there's a tool and I can buy that, but the steps to replace the cassette I hv no idea..
the headset can be changed manually without tools with some risk... you need a flathead screwdriver to get the bearing seat out of the steerer and the cups out of the headtube...
a mallot and a bit of dexterity should get the new cups and seat in... i said risk in your case being having a carbon headtube and risk whacking onto the wrong place when getting the cups out...
the cassette needs a tool which is not cheap and an old chain to unlock the cassette lock ring...u might as well pay for the service charges...

QUOTE(miaopurr @ Dec 2 2012, 05:51 PM)
to remove the cassette u only need a chainwhip, lockring tool and a spanner. i assume u already have a spanner. chainwhip and lockring tool may cost you rm1xx only, parktool brand. if u get icetoolz, or other brands, might be cheaper.
earn customers' trust laaa.... don't want to appear like conman. like this one shop, any problem, the recommendation is to change to a new part. spoke breaks, replace complete wheel. bb squeaks, replace new bb.
we gain their trust, n then we go for the kill.
i meant the headset

damn this looks freaking easy man...I can do this myself..not a probs. Just get the tool..i think around 125 here.
Anyway, apart from the cassette, I know I need to take off a few chain links as the one I use currently is quite long to suit the 32T. my previous lbs mentioned the chain has this 'magic link' or something..do i need a special tool to remove some of the chains or i can do it by hand? thx guys..
need quick reply here as I'm off to shop to buy the stuffs (im determined to become a self mechanic at home)
no one says it's hard... jus no point getting the tools for a one time thing when the bike shop can do it...
the sram powerlinks can be disconnected with a needle nose plier... to hook it back up.. jus align the plates and put force on the crank in the direction of a normal pedal stroke and the pins will slot back in...
cutting chain is inevitably a job for a chain breaker... no escape...
QUOTE(mrjgx @ Dec 3 2012, 02:08 PM)
im using a sram chain...so how? can use normal plier is it?
OTH this looks damn complicated and I don't have the proper tools
old days where got so much tools... jus flat head screwdriver, rubber mallet, wood wedge and a steel tube larger than your steerer tube to bang in the bearing seats and cups...
of course if you sayang your carbon frame... then you have to spend it on the cup presses and stuff lar...
QUOTE(ryan3721 @ Dec 3 2012, 02:08 PM)
missing link' or 'powerlink' connectors are just a quick way for removal of the 'entire' chain... correct me if wrong
spot on...
QUOTE(miaopurr @ Dec 3 2012, 02:09 PM)
eh, but u still want to remove some links. so u need the chain tool. after that, if u have a missing link or powerlink, u just use ur hands
ur hands so powderful?? i am never shaking hands with you ever...
QUOTE(mrjgx @ Dec 3 2012, 02:11 PM)
yeah I guess so, a chain tool. Is it the one usually comes with the multitool? I have one i usually bring but it's without the chain tool..sigh not complete. haha thx guys
multi tools chain breakers are lousy... they are jus for road side fixes and usually harder to use due to the size...and as you fiddle with the tiny chain breaker... you risk bending and breaking the push rod that pushes the pin out if you masuk the wrong angle...
it'll work... but as the pins shrinks smaller... the little piece also grows smaller and also easier to break.. and if it breaks... your multi tool will be not so multi anymore...
this month end got christmas lar.. got new year celebration lar...
you know... chicks everywhere...it'll be heaven... why go to competitions where you see fugly chicks with ripping muscles and the smell of sweaty armpits... WTF!!! dude...
but then again... there is this question of 20th december 2012...

if it is that good.. you would have seen them all around...
if he is on a tight budget with next to no expectations.. it is something you can't stop him from doing...
else, just do your best to lay him out the possibilities of his choice and let him decide for himself.. if he still proceeds forward with what you see as a dead end... so be it and god bless..
