Cutting down 1 1/4" fork steerer tube - HELP!

<< < (2/2)

Longun:
OK, thanks for your replies. Let's see. Yes it's a 1 1/4" and yes I know how the whole Aheadset/stem combination works it terms of tightening and locking the headset.

Here's a pic of where I'm at

Am I right in thinking that I need to cut them just below the top of where the stem will come to once in place with all the spacers etc. Just don't want to get it wrong as they're NOS Landing Gears.

TwoBobRob:
Yeah mate, you're exactly right   :daumenhoch:

If it were me, I'd run an extra couple of spacers - that way should you ever change stems and the new one is thicker, you could just loose a spacer and not have to worry about not having enough steerer to clamp to   :)

Longun:
OK, job done. Thanks to everyone for their help.
