Hi everybody! I did something really bad. I have to remove the stem from my bike, an old type one
(3TTT motus, http://tinyurl.com/ri3d) that seems to be in its place since many years (I just
received that bike). I noticed that the nut was hard, so I sprayed some penetrating oil. After a
while I tried again, the nut stayed at its place until it suddenly opened... or, better, I thought
it opened. In fact I rounded the bolt, even if the key I use is a good quality one. It isn't 100%
rounded, but now I have a little fear trying it again. Are there any solution to remove the part in
question before going to the shop (which has opening times not so compatibles with mines)? Opening
the headset (a threaded Dura-Ace, about 7 years old I guess) could help?
Thanks for any suggestion!!!
