This is for the above bike.





Not only is it 22mm (check) but it is also 1-1/8 (check) and weighs half of the orange Social Bikes stem I had on it. Winner winner chicken dinner.

Stem got.



And then everything needed for the single speed. The first thing I needed was this, to rob the threaded bearing ends from.



Then a shopping spree.









Thankfully you can get the hed doctor top cap without spending another 20 quid on the assembly itself.



This will need to be taken apart. I have a hanger, so I need to separate that from the bolt and spring and lower assembly.





In red. Again red.







I bought two of these. Not because of chain slap (but that may be an issue) but because I battered the stays on my PK getting it back up after a ride. The stair wells are pretty narrow.



Then a expensive treat.





And then an 80s acidic vinegary ketchup bottle  :LolLolLolLol: It never dawned on me until after, but I thought it was funny AF so it is staying  :LolLolLolLol:



I bought the cheapest axle I could find. I don't need the axle itself, I just need the spacers. The wheel was originally 130mm but came with no axle, so I bought a Shimano one and cut down the spacers to make it fit the frame. IIRC that was 110mm, but it could be 120 IDR. Either way I need to put it back, but all I need is the spacers.



Then I got this. I didn't specifically need to, but it saves me bringing mine over from mum's and mine is a bit battered (I used it to tap a bolt and the rubber handle fell off, and now it falls off every time you use the bloody thing).



And finally, the cherry on top. Monday's Child herself.
