so here’s the question: how hard is it to add threads to a steerer tube? Does cutting new threads as opposed to just chasing threads mean the die will need to be resharpened and so it will be cost prohibitive to have it done at a shop? Yes, I understand I will have to trim the steerer when it’s done, but for that, I have the right tool.
I've had threads cut further down on a 1" threaded fork. You'll need to find a shop that has the tool, but it's not hard at all. You may have to call around to find a shop that is equipped to do that.
