    Help please!?
    I have just bought a replacement QSH OPI stem for my ‘dale Flash

    Normally a stem would be the easiest part to replace but I have no clue with the Lefty stem (to fit an XLR fork) – there doesn’t appear to be an obvious starting point.
    Should I give up and book it in to the LBS?

    Undo the 2 clamp bolts and use a shimano ht2 bb tool on the bottom of the steerer to unwind it from the steerer.

    you need to tap the stem up – careful as the thread comes right to the end (female thread in stem), so whatever you’re tapping up there, if misaligned, can balls up the thread.

    I did just that.
