Gandalf the Yellow Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 you can get new steerers replaced though?its not cheap though it's definitely cheaper than buying a pair of new forks.steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 My fsa orbit extreme is pretty low stack height, its similar to this one but and older model, about 9 years old now and still going strong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 If the headset is worth keeping or already has a pretty low stack height you might have to see about getting a stem with a short clamp length... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_Neal Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Yea the stem idea is what im going to try next. The FSA ones are pretty low. As for headsets, I know there are ones to be had but I can't remember who makes them - not much help I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
