Run the Truvativ, and just take the rebound knob off. Done.

I have space to shave the knob, but I'll install the Truvativ.

Are you ghettoing because you didn't measure twice

+ 2

Rattsl (Jul 31, 2011 at 16:57)

I measured once, then I cut into the starnut, which turned the blade and made a crooked cut, so I pushed it, and cut another 5mm, and well...here I am!

My old forks were pre cut but the new answer atac stem was about 15mm taller so found a welder to weld on the extra,was ok though as it was an xc bike so wasn't getting abused.

Actually... welding a little bit of extra steer tube at the top wouldn't be detrimental if done right (if it were a steel steerer)

Rattsl (Jul 31, 2011 at 23:35)

True, I was thinking on mine, but thats aluminum. Also, dude, almost found a compression cap small enough, but no cigar. Instead, I am milling my Eastern one to be thin.

Why dont you purchase a new steerer and press it in? My dad has done it to my marzocchi's.

Rattsl (Aug 1, 2011 at 4:27)

Because I am fine with this for now.
