1" 1/18" Forks Question Please
« on: April 23, 2008, 06:40 PM »
It's the first time I've come across this so please excuse my ignorance.

I'm building a Proclaimer with some Oddy 41 Thermals on it and and is it common to have to cut a small amount off the top of the forks to help them fit better or is this a big no no? I can't get the stem to grip everything and push it all down enough when I tighten everything up because it needs another spacer but if I put anymore spacers on it'll be like riding a fooking Chopper. Or is there any way of spacing the top end with some big washers or summat?

Sorry if I sound thick but as I say it's the first time I've had this problem.

Ahy help appreciated fellas.

Ta.

Try avoiding cutting the steerer tube,add more spacers under the stem,also i use these on all stems

Cheers guys...that's what I meant by spacing the top Zed but I didn't explain it properly I don't think.

Your call really bud.  Chop the steerer down if you like, or bang a spacer up on top. No problemo either way   :)
