Threading Fork Steerers
Hi Folks,
What is the concensus on threading threadless fork steerers?
Say the steerer is 18cm long and the headtube is 11cm, is it feasible to thread say 10 cm without cutting the steerer.
Ideally i would like it that way to give me a more comfortable ride.
I live in the U.A.E and so far i haven't been able to find a bike shop that can thread steerers. Only one shop recommended not to do it because it may reduce the integrity of the steerer.
Any opinions with this regards, please share.
It is for a vintage purist build and the aim is to keep a threaded headset.
