Welding a CroMo Steering Tube
I'm asking for opinions. I have an unused Trek carbon fork with a
CroMo steel threaded steering tube. It is unused because it was meant for a real small bike and the steering tube is very short. What is your opinion of taking a cutoff from another steel steering tube, welding it to the end of this one, grinding down the welds, and then cutting and threading it to fit one of my bikes? Thanks in advance, Tom |

As opposed to just buying a fork with a _one piece steerer_??? You gotta be kidding, right? Threaded CrMo carbon blade forks still readily available and popular. Not too expensive either ($225). -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |
