Subject: New fork: Cut or spacers?
|
My current (Threaded) steerer tube is 187 mm.
New one is 200 mm.
I'll probably take it to a shop and they'll install it, but thought I'd
ask....
In your opinion, should they cut it down? or should they use spacers.
I figure that 13 mm is about 1/2 and inch.
TIA,
-Bob

Why would you use spacers with a threaded fork/headset? You just vary
the insertion of the quill stem.

Are you replacing a threaded fork with an unthreaded one? If so, use spacers
so you have more options for future changes of clamp-on stems. If it's a
threaded fork, I don't think you have the option of using spacers...

I have a threaded fork.
I'm replacing it with a threaded fork.
I am changing the headset as well, but it's just another 1" threaded
headset.
I was under the impression that spacers WERE an option...
