trialsiain Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 If you cut the steerer on trialtech forks does it wreck the threads ? Cheers Iain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Reynolds Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Are the threads all the way down the steerer? They're 45mm down the steer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Just bang in a starnut if not I feel that he wants to keep the threads judging by his question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Reynolds Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Judging that the forks come with 200mm steer, and the first 45mm is threaded, you can cut it down to 160mm before you run out of threads (and i don't know any situation where you'd need to cut it down that short) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebelistic Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 I cut my inspired forks down a bit with no problems. Just give the threads a clean after cutting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the mysterious leemur Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 What if you're running a sloping top cap stem? I assumed it would still work but don't want to waste £120 on forks and £40 on a stem.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed it would still work but don't want to waste £120 on forks and £40 on a stem.. you'd have to fit a star nut and sloped cap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarathal Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 My trial techs have been cut down, with a starnut and the threads are intact 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
