Help Needed Fitting Knight Kreation Stem to 1 1/8 Landing Gears

(1/2) > >>

Fiolas Lovechild:
H guys just wondering just purchased a new Knight Kreation stem Retro tuff neck  :smitten: to fit on my Retro Ripper cant get the stem onto the forks the forks are 1 1/8th and thats what size the stem says it fits, are you supposed to use a press or what.......??????? if too tight surely you'll never get it off...????

pickle:
piccies mate?  as it should just slip over the top (might be tight but should go over)

Moose:
I've not had a knight stem before, but I've had the same problem with a profile stem and it's a bugger to get it on without some superficial damage to the stem - a copper/hide mallet would help  :daumenhoch:

welsh denny:
the butcher method. remove the allen key bolts, stick a large screwdriver in the slot and wedgey it open more. then whack it on with a rubber mallet.

BrianP:
If the tapped holes for the clamping portion come right through the alloy, remove the clamping bolts and thread one of them back in from the opposite end, against a 10pence piece or something that's slid into the slot in the back of the stem to slowly (gently) wedge the stem open a bit before gently whacking it down onto the fork steerer with a fooking big hammer ;)
