HELP! fork fitting question.

(1/5) > >>

telelogic:
Hi All,

I'm trying to fit a new set of forks on my race bike.

the problem I'm having is that the steerer tube on the new forks is quite a bit shorter than the one on the old forks and it doesn't come to the top of the stem!

the top hat bolt goes on alright with the stem on, gets a purchase, and tightens up.

I'm just not sure if the fork steerer should come all the way up?

when I tried tightening my stem bolts they seemed to tighten way more than before.

any help would be very much appreciated.

telelogic:
thanks.

is there a chance that a brand new fork would not be long enough for the job?

HARORIDER:
ideally top of fork steerer should be about 5mm below the top of stem

telelogic:
It's more like a half a n inch ???

Bettyswallocks:
How many spacers have you got below the stem?
