Colnago Ovaltitan Head Tube Issue

[TitanioGT]

Hi,

 

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to replace a fork with a 1" inch steerer tube fork, with a 1.18"? Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Unfortunately you can't. There isn't enough space in the 1 inch had tube.

 

 

Why do you want to do this? If your fork is kaput and you just happen to have another with a larger steerer lying around, forget about that plan, it is not your lucky day.

 

If you are gatvol of frozen stems, then you can easily convert to threadless 1 inch forks.

HI Johan,

 

Thanks for the info. I was asking because I had the option of getting a 1 1/8" fork that "suited" my bike. So now just I'm replacing the existing 1" threaded fork with a threadless. Realised tha conversion was out of the question after much bandwidth comsumption... I've since ordered a 1" threadless headset from abroad.

 

Thanks again
