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.
