Sounds like you need to chuck it in the skip Bert :-\

Just let me know where and when and I'll have it back out in seconds :2funny:

Bfellows:
 ;D  Its slowly becoming my second nemesis after the TA...........  Its not going to beat me though, just something else to get sorted.  I have a feeling I shall making Phil's acquaintance in the near future.......

oldschoolace:
Bert do you know the internal measurement of the normal steerer tube? I have a drill bit which may do the job. I bought it to ream out the internal taper on a set of forks i wanted to run a linear bearing on for a woody style brake mod.  :daumenhoch:

The forks were 21mm ish at the top but tapered to around 19.5mm where it met the top of the forks  >:(

Bfellows:
Internal diameter is 21mm.  I'll post a couple of pics when I get chance. 

I think that they need breaking apart and re doing correctly as it looks as though they've been badly welded to the sleeve and the welds filed down.  I'd rather they were butt welded properly and then the excess spun down on a lathe or preferably a new steerer tube fitted.  I've not got the gear for doing it myself these days so I think i'll need to box em up and send them to someone who can.......  Noticed a hairline crack on my DP seat post as well so might as well get that sorted at the same time.

I sense a trip to the man Phil Sawzall maybe needed. A master if ever there was one
