omgnoseat Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Hello, I just cut my fork steerers since I bought a new stem. I cut them pretty straight and am worried if it's safe to use now.. I can't really get them any shorter to adjust it anymore now Should I be worried or is it fine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence--Trials Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 I cut mine far too short using a try-all NUC stem, its alright though, no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Leech Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Aslong as it is just above the center of the top bolt, you'll be dandy . Pretty sure mines just below and i never have any problems with it . Cheers, Josh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Would've been best cut at an angle, but it'll be fine. My old forks were like that, and they clamped alright though. Did snap, but that was because they were really old Echo forks. Nothing to do with the stem clamp at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
