Can Pace swap a steerer tube on RC41’s?

[Monkeeee01]

I’ve got a pair of RC41’s on my old Klein, and I cut the steerer to size for that frame.

Now I’m looking swap the frame out for an older Klein, but the head tube is quite a bit longer so the steerer is too short.

I’m wondering if I contact Pace and sent them off to them, could they/would they swap the steerer for me.

Don’t really want to buy a new pair of forks

No mate, they're pressed in on the 41's, not replaceable like the old ones. You'll need a full steerer/crown/stanchion set up and I think you'd be lucky to find one new. You can get steerers extended though.

Have a word with @danson67 he's swapped a few Rockshox press in steerers for me, all of which are going strong, creak free, after a few years of use.
I don't know if the same is possible with Pace but it's worth asking.

How do you get a steerer extended and is it really safe?

If you can get a steerer with the correct tolerance at the interface then it should be easy enough for a decent tuner like Sprung or JTech to replace it with a longer one.

Seen people have it done, from memory an insert was just then a new bit welded on? Not sure I'd trust it myself but it's an option.

Often the tube is sleeved so sits inside the existing one. Pinned through and welded at the joint and the pin. Well I've seen a few examples of that.

I've also had a steerer pressed out and replaced and that worked. I'd prefer that option.

Of for the days of replaceable steerers.

Yeah I’m looking at that option at some places @danson67 had recommended. Thanks all
