Bit bored so I thought I'd make one..

Centre of marker pen is 14.3mm (1/2 steerer tube Ø) from straight edge. Sit forks level, run pen along steerer tube...align with slot in stem 🙂

Underbuilt IMO, and you could have used carbon.

and IT WASN'T A SPOON

Nice idea but how do you ensure the forks are level? What happens when the stem slot is not central or is angled?

Can't you see the picture?

Put something under the stanchions so they sit flat..

It doesn't solve all the problems..
