    Little experiment to see if this will stop the fork lifting too much.

    So … all you experts out there … what do I do and in what order? In simple terms for a bimbo please!

    Thank you so much. 🙂

    Yes but I did attempt this once before. I'm useless. 😳

    undo stem bolts
    undo and remove stem cap
    lift stem
    remove spacers
    replace stem
    put spacers on top
    put stem cap on top
    tighten stem cap bolt just enough to stop the headset knocking
    line up stem
    tighten stem bolts
    test ride

    Did I miss anything? I'm tired and ready for bed.

    Onza is correct. Put the spacers back on the top. Only when you are sure you are happy with it should you cut the steerer tube down, that's usually an act of no return.

    Just a wee update …

    Job done, bike tested and everything OK. 😀 Not cutting steerer.

    Thanks again for your help STW'ers!
