bagre15 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 I was thinking of a way to run the cable of my front brake through my forks, so that I can tail whip. Would it be safe to drill a small hole in the steerer tube, in the height of the stem spacers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike_dummie Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) Why not drill a hole in the top cap or even better get one of the gusset starnuts. Edited August 19, 2012 by bike_dummie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials hoe Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 drill a hole in your topcap and remove one of the tabs from the starnut, worked for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagre15 Posted August 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) The gusset starnut won't fit my steerer tube. I'll try removing a tab of my starnut to see if it works, any tips on how to do it? Edited August 19, 2012 by bagre15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike_dummie Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 I presume you would just drill it out gradually going up in size. Can your hose not Fit past the starnut without modification? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
