    I posted the question a few days ago about stem height. I have decided to lower my stem in small
    increments until I am about two inches below the top of my seat (less if it seems warranted). I have
    done some research on how to do this but cant seem to get it. The post I read said, for a threaded
    fork, to loosen the stem bolt and raise or lower the stem. When I do this my stem does not move. I
    am riding a Colnago Masterlight with Campy record and have a 3T threaded stem. Please help.

    One additional question, how often should cleats be changed? I am riding Carnacs with Time pedals.

    Thanks again,

    Matt Payne

    Loosen the stem bolt a turn or two and tap it fairly hard with a soft mallet to loosen the wedge.
