Hmmm not ideal.... have you tried the steerer swap thread first?

is it a clamp up steerer or pressed in?

you can just buy a new steerer and get it pressed in... might be cheaper??

Re:

I think you can still buy separate steerers for RST forks at Rose.de. Not expensive.

Pretty sure that it will still fit. Check the diameter of yours. If it's 30mm in the clamp area then it will fit I think.

I don't think that is press in specific. I was asking if yours was pressed in.
