Hi there. New to the forum, and could use the expertise of the group.
I have a 1992 Yo Eddy bike. Bought and built up myself in 1992, and other than new wheels, brakes / pads and a new seat a few times over the course of 21 years of ownership, haven't replaced much else.
However, I think my headset is starting to go bad, feeling like there is some friction and my front brake cable, which runs through a roller hanger on my Salsa stem, is constantly getting pinched in the roller.
So, looking to replace both the headset and stem. But I have no idea what I would use to replace them. Are there parts still made that fit the bike, or should I look for older parts that will work? Any advice or suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated.
Just posted a pic of my bike in the Registry thread. Here is a closeup of the stem and headset (Shimano Deore DX) as well.
