Shouldn't recommendations for what to use to actually cut the steer tube be included in here? The best way, getting it straight, filing off burrs and marking the cut line.
I don't know It seems that syphilis might have come from the Americas Hendry Feb 7, at But I got it in London They started off with a campag headset upside down and built a stem steerer unit. Concentration camps as well Good job England. Good job. Bouncerbeater Feb 7, at Apart from correct grammar apparently.
Where did I say I don't like England? I just don't like stupid statements. Or Alex Salmond. I think back in the day pace had the most versatile range of steerers of any manufacturer. Still pretty sure tioga introduced the ahead set.
Tioga had a licensed version though, called the Alchemy series. The Aheadset patent btw, expired in Sept of , so now any headset maker can produce threadless headsets with the much better split-collar bearing preload method if they'd get off their lazy arses and do so coughkingcough.
Actually, the Scot's have given much more to the world than the English! I'm not anti English or anti anybody - just proud of my country. Bring on Scottish Independance. I stand corrected at should at least google before I comment. Need I go on? Not anything that important from the English really.
O yeah! We invented retractable beer carton holders and table hockey and tracer shells EH!! There should be a large print disclaimer towards the top explaining the down side to cutting a steer tube to an exact height. It looks nice and functions just as well as having the steer tube come all the way through the stem but it will make reselling the fork or even the bike as a whole more difficult and will most likely impact the price you can get on the used market.
I'm not concerned about the resale in the slightest as I almost never resell the bikes from my personal collection. This is very true but i can give you an example where its a pain to do so. So i moved the old lyriks to my orange, not really thinking about steerer length, only to find that i now have to run them on the orange with very little stack which puts the bars a bit too low for my liking.
As for the argument of a broken sternum from the steerer, come on man your gonna be in a crash to do that and whose to say you wouldnt break your sternum on the stem or if you come off and land on your pedal or even worse hit a rock or tree or other object on the trail?
It does tend to encourage stem pads though On the note of not selling your gear or bike every season you should have extra steer tube there for adjustment. Look at all the pro's on the DH circuit on really steep tracks they raise their bar height and only small amounts of height increase can be achieved through direct mount spacers if you are lucky enough to have access to properly made ones or stem selection it self.
Both those options cost money to have on hand. If you want to raise the bar height by more then mm you are going to need that extra steer tube.
And further more my message had nothing to do with having the latest and greatest. If you are lucky enough to keep all your previous bikes good for you but it doesn't mean some 16 year old kid that had to get a job to get his bike can afford to hold on to every bike he will ever own. I get your point but i don't appreciate you detracting from the importance of my message.
The reason i posted this was for the younger riders out there that are not fortunate enough to be able to keep all their previous rides and so they don't make the mistake of short changing themselves in the future.
So I did just that! Everything you said , BUT my front end creaks like a u know what! So what can I do to stop the creaking noise? Undo the bolts that hold the handlebar to the front of the stem. Let the handlebar gently droop to the side and now follow the procedure for swapping spacers, outlined in steps 1 to 4 above.
Check your user manual if you are in any doubt. They are still commonly seen on bikes of all styles and disciplines. Quill stems slide into the steerer tube of the fork and are secured with either an expanding bung or sliding wedge that presses against the inside of the tube. Adjusting their height is slightly different — but arguably much easier — than a threadless stem. Begin by loosening the bolt on the top of the stem.
Most use a hex head bolt, but some will use an external bolt. If the bolt is sitting proud of the stem, strike this directly. If it is flush with the top of the stem, you can use your hex key to gently tap the bolt. Be sure to check for any minimum and maximum insertion marks on the stem and adhere to these. It is good practice to periodically grease the shaft of a quill stem because they frequently seize if left dry.
Once you have set the height of your stem and lined it up with your front wheel, you can re-tighten the wedge bolt to spec. BikeRadar provides the world's best riding advice.

These work on a pivot a little forward of the steerer allowing a rider to raise the handlebars quite a lot. Not for the sports rider, this sort of kit.
A city bike around town, or trekking longer distances perhaps. Moreover, combining this type of stem with a riser bar gives the casual rider an extremely upright posture on a bike frame that would not otherwise allow it. Small changes in stack height make a noticeable difference for cyclists who spend a lot of time in the saddle. Raising handlebar height 5mm, for example, gives a feeling of reduced responsiveness the payoff being, perhaps, increased comfort.
I say perhaps since this whole issue is very personal. Each cyclist has their particular comfort zone often more subjective and imagined than demonstrably objective. The trick is to find it. We demonstrate on a road bike that accepts an integrated headset. The main components are as with any integrated headset. There is the top and bottom OS sealed bearings, the lower bearing race and the compression ring. The one difference is the lack of a spacer that normally sits on top of the compression ring beneath the seal.
The most important part of this component set is the seal. The design provides an internally mounted threaded sleeve which winds up or down as you rotate the outer casing. Turning the outer casing to the limit achieves the full 7mm extension. The edge at the base of the cone is burred; getting a grip with greasy or sweaty hands is not a problem.
Yes, you could adjust your spacer and stack height out on the road. You have to know the correct technique to make use of this feature though. We show how it all works in the remainder of this article.
The headset on this bike is a OEM version of a First integrated headset. This type of headset has a rubber gasket just below the top of the seal which forms a firm seal to the steerer.
I placed 15mm spacers under the stem and 5mm spacer above the stem. I made this post, because I am just curious about your aesthetic criterion. Well, as for my opinion, I don't like zero spacer below the stem.
I like 5mm spacer above the stem, so for the balance, at least, I prefer 5mm or more spacers under the stem. Anyway, thank you again, all of you. Maybe my original post might not have given enough explanation about my intention, cause I'm not good at English. I hope I could return with some other useless?

Post by pdlpsher1 on Mon Jan 15, pm Can't help but notice the old style Di2 external junction box.
Why aren't they using the handlebar junction box? A maximum stack height of 2cm is allowed below the stem and a single 5mm spacer must always — always — be stacked above. All questions can be answered here.
