brakes are good for 2 foot manuals to control and save money as you dont need to buy shoes as often. and 110m wheels have more tread and are faster but then they cost more so its up to u

well i got a phoenix fork today and its used from "Zach!" and its great but when i try to tighten the wheel it will shake so i tighten it more and then it wont roll, there is no space in between where its a nice spot of not shaking and rolling. Does this mean it is bent?

Idea: Between the members and the moderators here, we know many of the important people in this field. If you could ask questions of any throat-or-overtone singers, who would they be and what questions would you ask them?

One that comes to my mind: Id like Albert Kuvezin to discuss what he calls Kanzat.

How about you?

Sounds like you didn't take all the parts off your bike fork. Make sure you have the compression ring and crown race, and that everything is installed correctly. And for future reference you're just gonna break headset bearings by overtightening your SCS.

It's definitely your headset. You shouldn't be able to tighten your compression to the point that your fork doesn't move with the short side of an allen key. You need ALL of the headset, and you're definitely missing pieces. Also, you need the bearing cups from the headset, not just the stock cups.
