dann2707 Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Is this rideable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Reynolds Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Refering to the steer tube length? If so, thats plenty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Not ideal, but more than likely be fine. Removing the 10mm spacer not an option? Replace it with a 5mm to be on the safer side if it concerns you at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Should be fine, I've done similar for 3 months and it was fine. Get a jaf bikes steerer extension if you're that worried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Yes but it'll be the AIDS that will get you, not your steerer length. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny00135 Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 more steerer than mine and I still have all my teeth... this keeps coming up, you wont get a proper answer from here, you'll either be told "no" or "works fine for me" on paper it puts stress inbetween the bolts, causing it to crack, but looking at that, it'll be pretty difficult to crack there... I wouldn't worry about it much, but then again i'm a complete retard at times.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dann2707 Posted December 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Mother of f**k!! 9 replies in 10 mins. Cheers guys.

Jake. Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 I think it was the title that made most of us look at this topic, expecting to see a 10ft drop gap to rail over acid or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clerictgm Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 It's OK. In Russia at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williams Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 You are supposed to have like a 6mm gap at most, so you should be quite fine! Or just buy a tad smaller spacer, but you actually need a gap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
