On September 11th, 2022 I purchased a 2022 Pinarello Prince Di2 disc. I purchased from Pro's Closet because of their reputation, to say the least I will not that again. Nor will I recommend it to anyone, I was under the impression that all the bikes they get in are gone through completely. I was made aware of a few scratches on the frame and I was good with that, however the bottom of the bottom bracket, the inside of the fork and the inside of the chain stays/seat stays were filthy. When I removed the battery door on the bottom of the BB it actually had mud in it. When I removed the crankset to replace it with a dual power meter set I found the frame side of the crankset filthy with dirt and grease and the BB bearing shell was also covered with dirt and grease. With the crankset out the inner shell of the BB was gritty with dirt. This was obviously never taken apart to be serviced or inspected. I then sent an email to 'Pro's' Closet: "On September 11th I ordered a 2022 Pinarello Prince for over $5500 from you folks. I am very upset about the condition it came in. I bought a bike from PC because of your reputation. I do not want to return the bike so don't concern yourself with that. I was under the impression that you tear down the bikes you sell to a point and go through them. This was not the case with this bike. Please see the attached pictures for reference. I pulled the cranks out and found a lot of dirt at the BB. I saw dirt on the BB frame bottom, removed the battery door and found mud in it. The rear derailleur was covered in light dirt/dust. This is prompting me to look closer at other areas of the bike since these obvious areas were not serviced. What I have found when I removed the wheels was the inside upper of the fork and the chain stay were also covered in dirt/dust. I don't know what I expect of PC besides me telling you I will not be recommending you or purchasing another bike/gear from PC.". Their response was: "Thanks for reaching back out to us here at TPC! All of our bikes do go through a cleaning and inspection process. I'm sorry that we missed the mark with your bike. To cover the time spent cleaning the bike, I'd like to offer you a $100 reimbursement. I'll get your information over to our accounts payable team today. That reimbursement will be issued to you within the next 1-3 business days. If there is anything else that I can assist you with please do not hesitate to ask.". All I could say was WOW. So you be the judge.
Am I correct in stating that, when a threadless designed stem is already high enough so that there's 30 millimeters worth of spacers under it, it can only be heightened via a new stem (up angled or variable angled) or a stem handlebar extender?
Thanks for sharing this video for all to see and learnthe proper way to adjust your bike stemfor a more comfortable bike ride peace out in paradise from honolulu hawaii aloha....
Old video but you should really include some explanation about the compression plug and how it work in conjunction with the stem height adjustment rather than saying have so many mm of spacers above and below the stem......
Well explained , thank you.
nice video: well explained

Not very ’Pro’ I would say. Thanks for the heads up.
Cool video, as this is right up my alley, at this time. Nice, thanks.

Hi
👋
Great video but the annoying dreadful music in that background is a killer💩
Please ditch the music. It adds confusion to your video. Crocks????
Boooo you suck!
Threadless stems, another "improvement".
Called a goose neck fool
You forgot...even with your "opinion" you were asked to be respectful.
