Ben Davies Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 If the stem is 15mm over the end of the steere tube, is that way to short? Dont want to take a chance with this!depends what stem you have got, and what the stack height is (the measurement between the top of the headset race to the top of the stem - where the top cap sits), if the stem has a stack height of 45mm or more and has 2 pinch bolts then this should be ok, i would run a headlock to keep it all nice and tight, if the stem starts moving when your riding then its going to be a pain.....so time for new forks...or a new stem/headset with low stack height. hope tis helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
