It's all about friction and corrosion. In hindsight, I should have taken my 10ER down to the headstock and waxed inside the headstock. When I restored the speed changer and put it on, the increased friction from the parts slowed headstock movement a bit. Minwax is your friend.....use it a lot until ...

I have never understood when people ask why manufacturers don't stock parts for machinery over seven years old. Because they don't have to. And with the intense infusion of Chinese manufacturing, because they don't want to, products are built to a price point. Often, there are no parts available ...

Great! I use a fine stone to sharpen punches, but the angle you hold by hand is a little twitchy the first few times. Keep us posted....this is an exciting repro! Or as the bike people call it, a 'repop'.

I think if I leave that part off I will be Okay. :)


If it helps, I would be happy to remove my grommet and send you the two parts for printing. There's a small margin line that was faded ...

Yeah, but in the legalese of selling companies, a lot of that stuff like trademarks/copyrights moves along to the next owner(s). Like I said, I think it would be a bad idea to alert present-day ...
