New fork: Cut or spacers?
My current (Threaded) steerer tube is 187 mm.
New one is 200 mm. I'll probably take it to a shop and they'll install it, but thought I'd ask.... In your opinion, should they cut it down? or should they use spacers. I figure that 13 mm is about 1/2 and inch. TIA, -Bob |

New fork: Cut or spacers?
Are you replacing a threaded fork with an unthreaded one? If so, use spacers
so you have more options for future changes of clamp-on stems. If it's a threaded fork, I don't think you have the option of using spacers... "Chino Cherokee" wrote in message ...

I am changing the headset as well, but it's just another 1" threaded headset. I was under the impression that spacers WERE an option... ?? -Bob Why would you use spacers with a threaded fork/headset? You just vary the insertion of the quill stem. Donga |
