My threaded headset is shot. I'm trying to use what tube I've got (5/4 inch showing) on my threaded fork before I drop 80-100 on a new one.The threads would not be clamped so I do not see an issue with it in that respect. I don't understand the issue of tightening the riser. You put it in, tighten the hell out of it, and forget about it. Then it's just part of the steerer tube and I should be able to just use the headset and starnut like normal.
Do you think that tightening the star nut screw would pull out the riser?
What if I bought the riser and then had it welded on the steerer so that no joint was protruding?
