Orange P7 forks into E3, steerer cut too short? solutions???

[Kona Tone]

Finally got some forks (p7) for my Orange E3 and it looks like someone's hacked off too much of the steerer.

what solutions are available to extend or replace tube?

many thanks in advance

Shall I change the title to 'too short steerer tube' help??? or something more generic?

...as I'm the only one who will stand up on here and recommend these

Of course, you'll have to convert to an Aheadset if that's a threaded steerer...

Thanks mate, it's 1" steerer so is that the right one? so do use my bearings ?or complete new ahead set? The thread barely reaches the top of my bearing set. Maybe another photo to illustrate....
To show where it comes up to....

Yes, it;s the 25.4/22.2mm version you require...

...if you have a threaded headset and a quill stem you'll need a Aheadset and stem instead.

I've used them since 2005 as it's enabled me to pick up some cheap forks from eBay (particularly P2's) because the steerers have been cut so short nobody wanted them

Don't have a stem yet but have plenty of 1 1/8th ahead ones so that'll solve both problems.

Someone else explained tis solution to me at work today, so at £11 quid odd it looks a winner, just saw a 1" ritchey ahead set on eBay guess there's plenty about, also will use the lx (for threaded) one I was gonna use on another project

Was that what the 'discussion' was about ages ago I heard about? To do with extending steerers.

 

[We_are_Stevo]

probably...

...I don't don't see anything wrong with using an 'extender,' been doing so since long before I discovered RB; not a universally shared point of view though

 

[Rampage]

I don't see a problem with it either.

I never saw the thread, just remember 'the thread' being mentioned in other threads!

Ahem, yes, I have my 'fans!'
