Broken Sugino Stem
Gnarlyscoots:
To remove the bolt, get a drill piece thats the same width/diameter as the bolt head and gently drill the head off taking care not to go too wild to damage the stem. Once off, slide out your stem, turn bike upside down, remove the front wheel and using a metal bar, just tap/bang the wedge and remaining bolt piece out :daumenhoch:

Thanks - bolt head sits about 8mm inside the stem, so looks like it a drill bit and a steady hand...
Cheers

dordymush:
looks the same type of wedge as a suntour that does.
i've changed the wedges before but had to cut the stem shaft to suit the new wedge.
Glynnyboy:
The proud allen bolt and that type of wedge only came on sugino stems I beleave.
So it pretty much leaves you looking for another as a doner.
If you find a source for that type bolt & wedge combo in that length I would be interested to know. :coolsmiley:

Lads,
There is a great source on eBay for this type of shit, and I have bought from he / she recently. Buy with confidence; prices OK and postage is a lot faster than you would imagine. :daumenhoch:

Lots of OS Hardware bits and pieces available and a nice and trustworthy eBayer. Not sure if it is all genuine early '80s stuff, but who cares if little parts like that are readily available and do the job? ???
Clean.
*ps* Apologies if I have broken one of the RAD rules by sharing; not sure and not meant. Just trying to help out. :angel:
