Don't know about welding to be honest.@danson67 is the man to contact, he extended my Kona project 2 forks and it’s a beautiful job!
That’s what he did for me. No stress points as such and likely to be a strong as any other weld on a bike.Don't know about welding to be honest.
The joint would be in a critical point and I ride in quite hard terrain.
Maybe shortening the tube further and weld in a lower point, but still not sure...
Good point, forgot about the aluminum factor!!!Sid would be an alloy steerer.
I think it would be unwise to weld - ask @danson67
The quill extender shouldn't fit because the alloy tube has a thicker wall, so the interior diameter is smaller - and it shouldn't be used for this anyway.
You only live once, as they say.
You get a new steerer pressed in, or buy a fork with a steerer that's long enough.![]()
The bay ones are some of the scariest things I've ever seen. Some of the cheapest chinesium I've ever seen, and you can't tighten the headset up effectively when they're fitted. I bought one to see if it would work for extending the steerer of a wall hanger DH bike but even in that scenario it's useless, I certainly wouldn't ride one. You can get steerer tubes pressed out and replaced by most suspension tuners but the downside is that they're quite expensive. If you're competent and have access to a hydraulic press then you could DIY it using an aftermarket steerer but the downside is that most of the quality ones are only available through tuners, and the easily available ones are of unknown provenance.You can get extenders, they are essentially a quill stem without the bar mount but I'm not sure how good they are, maybe some folk can feed back, I've never used one.
You can in theory have the steerer pressed out and a replacement pushed in. I've had that done before but you'll need to find someone who can do this.
You may be better off selling your forks and finding a set with a long enough steerer. What length is your current one and what do you need?
Ha we tried the same with my P2...@danson67 is the man to contact, he extended my Kona project 2 forks and it’s a beautiful job!
