Arrrrrrgh…. Ive cut my steerer too short.. help please.

Wouldn’t really want to start chopping a brand new Ti frame.
Mike has installed a plug in the forks and they should be back tomorrow.
Hopefully be up and riding before the weekend as my recalled / replacement Spyres are back too.

You only just got your Spyres back?

Seems a long time.

Finally… a few little waits for forgotten parts its finished.
Steerer is too long so will trim it by about 10mm but here it is for proof..

Blue Ti skewerers on their way from Taiwan, light weight tubes to go on and maybe some lighter shimano a600 pedals for my ride to work..

Nice, but bin the Ti skewers idea…

The ones I got from the east had plastic bearing surfaces in them and failed on the 2nd ride, just buy KCNC or MtZoom ones instead from a UK shop.

Yeah, I’ve had Ti skewers eject a back wheel before, and that happened a few hours after checking they were clamped down.

No don’t. Just leave it. Plese.

I’d follow this advice. Ti isnt a very good material for skewers, as it ‘stretches’ and can’t be tightened up as well as a steel one. Th e small weight gain of steel is well worth it; the weight isn\t an issue in the centre of the hub. You can’t beat even basic cheap Shimano skewers for efficiency.
