Steerer tube cutting and threading tools

[Giom6]

I don't know those forks to comment accurately, but I guess so long as it is secured in the same way and the crown race still seats properly - why not ?

Thats what I thought. I have just tried it and it seems ok. The crown race its flush to the collar and crown and there is no movement.

Still need to trim the tube though…

Careful moving the steerer in the crown. There should be a split ring on the bottom of the steerer that sits in a recess in the bottom of the crown. This stops the steerer pulling through the crown. If you move the steerer down then it's no longer doing it's job

Not saying don't do it, just saying.

Just a thought, but you could put a thin stem spacer on the bottom between the split ring and the crown .

Or between the crown and the shim for the bottom race.

I hear ya

Thats not a bad shout, could definitely be worth a try.

I think I'm going to invest in a die anyway and try add a little bit more thread and do it properly.

I think the real question here is........whats that nice black fillet brazed frame Giom?

If I can get this sorted all will be revealed soon

Various ways:

1) Get more thread added via a die or lathe.
2) Longer crown race shim
3) shorten steerer at bottom and make a new groove to hold the clip
4) headset spacer under crown race (if the crown doesn't have a recess for the shim) as per cherrybomb. Although it would be a loose fit and most of the thin ones are poorly made on eBay.
5) Thin headset spacer underlocknut.
