How much of the steerer's wall thickness is splintered. Would the splinter be described as a layer or a strip?
I have seen a similar situation where a thin layer on the outside surface of the steerer got peeled off for about 1/4". The manager epoxied the missing "valley" and the end's face with a wiped on layer then installed a solid plug with more epoxy. I know the fork was working well a few yeas later as it was the service manager's personal bike and he showed that off when he was later servicing it. Andy
