Steerer tube extension

[Sir Neil d'Menture]

Sorry. Didn't realise you had made it yourself.
Very clever.

Which link? I machined the extension and had it welded on. And grinded everything back to flush with a tube grinder attachement. Done!

Hi do you have a picture of it finished

I had a steerer extended at a frame shop. I wanted a thread less fit.
The steerer was cut half way, an internal steel sleeve was inserted and a blank steerer was put on top. Everything was brazed up to make a solid unit. It worked out marvellously. Because I was repainting the fork, I can't tell you how the brazing affected the original paint. Maybe a frame shop could advise on the particulars

No, its all finished and built

that has nothing to do with his problem. Extending a threaded steerer tube is a whole different story.

Interesting contribution to a perennial query though

How a professional frame builder would do it

 

[fguki]

Yeah okay but what Brodie does here is basically exactly what I do and suggested above. He has one welding seam in the end. I have 2. What basically doesnt matter at all.

Thanks guys.
I have already seen the Brodie clip.
I am giving up my silly ideas and looking for a spare steerer tube to use. Internal diameter should be 22.2mm and steel tubing of that size is readily available. There are no frame builders anywhere near here but I can get welding done quite easily. Even I can file and polish the end result!
