Default Re: Simple bike question.

Now I have a problem that has some more simple solution than I know. I picked up a kids 16" bike for the front wheel. As a bonus I got two brake levers cables are toast. I did use one of the brake mechanisms on a bike but it needs new pads. None of that is the problem....

I really do like the handlebars. Very cool looking to me but they are that mongoose trail bike configuration. I need to take the goose neck or whatever it is called out to switch them. Can't just slide them into the one on the bike.

Now if I recall correctly and I think I do. When I start cranking the tension off the bolt, there is a sorta round sorta wedge shaped rod at the bottom of the bolt. At some point I can remove the goosie without that wedge thingie coming loose or do I have to crank it till it comes off. Sorry I just cant remember. My memory was the first thing to go alright.
