BigAl Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Old steerer was disconnected, could spin the forks around freely.Whacked the old one out, so I was wondering could I replace the steerer tube? Or will I have to buy new forks?Thanks alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duncan_echo26 Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 The steerer tube snapped out of my Onza Lite Guys a couple of days ago.I don't think it would be replaceable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl Posted November 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Fairly sure i mean steerer tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdmackay Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 So have you given up on pursueing Lazenby for those forks?And by the looks of it that's a snapped steerer tube which as far as I know it not replaceable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duncan_echo26 Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Its not snapped. Its just come out...I'm not sure where you could buy a new one. But if you can find somewhere that would sell one then its probably replaceable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Pants™ Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 You can get a new steerer put in, it's about 40 quid. They're manipoos aren't they? Contact TF tuned and they should be able to do it. Had my marzocchi 66s crashed into a tree by a mate before i bought them off him, and he just sent them off, bam a few days later it comes back with a new full length steerer in it.Give em a call/email em.

Mark W Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 sorry, but they are bonded in, they are not designed to be replaceable. New forks time (or at least new uppers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sstein Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 yes you can replace it (as glen already said). Send them off to TF tuned and they will do it. My DJ1 forks have had a new steerer think it cost around £30 from marzoochi and took about 1 week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trialsmax04 Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 There put in using a press, just like the steering pin from tripple clamps on motorbikes. Send it away like said and get it done as it needs a press to do it.max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
