davetapson Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Has anyone had a steerer tube replaced in Rockshox forks? My forks were originally fitted in a medium frame, which has since been replaced by a large frame and the steerer is now too short. (It was probably already too short on the med frame too.) I'm getting tired of numb hands and uncomfortable position - I'm too old for full on racing posture...
Reg Lizard Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Is it at all possible to replace the steerer tube on a road fork as well?
GoLefty!! Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 call the agents, Cape Cycle Systems; 021 761 3528
AndreZA Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Any decent cycle shop should be able to help you. but I think they replace it with steel ones and not alu.
davetapson Posted January 13, 2010 Author Posted January 13, 2010 Gave them a call - they reckon you can't replace the steerer tube as a new one will work loose. They do say that you can buy a new steerer tube / header / outer fork tubes unit and then replace the rest with your original components. Probably looking at R2k+. I have heard that someone did get their steerer replaced tho.
Wernervdmerwe Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Call Geco Cycles. Had my previous Fox steerer replaced. Steerer is like R150 or R200. 021-9823446

Probably looking at R2k+. but that is actually all the working pars of the for. The lowers are just there to keep the oil clean and attach the wheel. If you are going to go that route, sommer get the lowers repainted.

AndreZA Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 why not a higher stem and some risers? it does not fit the frame so a stem change is not gonna help.
