I have a brand new Marzocchi fork, with a untheaded steerer that was cut too
short, by about 2". I am considering the options to make it work on my
mountain bike. I could put on a riser, but that would look kind of cheesy.
One bike shop said they would cut threads into the cro-mo steerer, install an
NOS XT 1 1/8" HS and a quill stem, that I happen to have. I talked to another
shop, just to check the concept, and they said they would not do it, that they
do not cut new threads into an ahead steerer. I seem to recall that there is a
slight difference in diameter between threaded steerers and unthreaded. Is
that true, or does anyone have an opinion about this project?
Thanks,
