not if you want your stem not to snap.....which is why in my opinion, you shouldnt fit rotors to 1'' forks.....stems get snaptasticly high when they are installed

you could file down the top few threads off your forks

do this with the big threaded headset bit screwed down - then you can wind it up to clean the threads

I have a Gyro.. and it won t work properly too.
(I can t fit it properly)

does someone have pictures from a Gyro system fitted, just to see the height of the stem, and if I have to put some "washers" in the headset?

regards,
