(1/3) > >>

Bought these ET forks around six months ago off a member on here. Had the frame and forks "meticulously" painted.......(u like what I did there?)

Been collecting all the other bits for it and came to build it tonight and the forks are too god damn short!!!!

Can't believe I never noticed.  :idiot2:

Anyways I can't fit the bloody headset properley as no where near enough thread......any suggestions chaps?

Regards Steve

Fook they are short, what about a hatta headset? Don't they sit a little lower?  ???

stevesredvxr:
Not sure Rob.....but I'm guessing these are a good inch too short.  :-[

(PS. thanks for the wonga dude...only just noticed it was in!!)  :daumenhoch:

If it's just going to be for a show bike, get another pair of old fooked forks & cut off a piece of the threaded steerer & screw it in so it buts up to the piece on the forks, then screw the rest of the headset in, then the stem will hold it all together  :daumenhoch:

Or if you are going to ride it, get an old pair of forks, get the steerer tube cut & welded onto it  :daumenhoch:

No probs mate, was going to say if its a show piece just put the stem in and don't worry  :daumenhoch:
