Scrod - I have a 1" threaded chromed fork with an enormously long steer tube. I have an older frame that I would like to use this on but is currently setup with a 1" threadless headset. The headtube is quite a bit shorter than the unthreaded part of the threaded fork. Can the steer tube of the fork just be cut down to suit? The steer tube (unthreaded section) is also chromed and I don't know if that will cause unwanted slipping of the stem when mounted.
