Pace RC36s with nitride stanchions (Now Sold)

[classen]

I'm not familiar with Pace forks. I'm not sure how widely these were available in Canada/USA in the early-mid 90s when I was really into mountain biking. I am now working on a retro rebuild project and I'm interested in how the steerer is replaced. Can you post a shot of the crown and the bolts that hold the steerer tube in place. Are replacement steerer tubes readily available? Can 1" steerer tubes be bolted into Pace forks that originally came with 1-1/8" tubes? Could I just buy a 1" piece of aluminum tube and use that?

I don't mean to hijack your thread so just ignore me if you want.

yes to all your questions except the last one. The steerer isnt complicated, just a tube with a circlip set into a groove at one end...but you cant just use any lump of alu.

Pace still sell steerers, as does Tim (Justbackdated on these forums)

You can put a 1" steerer into a 1 1/8th crown...pace made a shim for just that purpose.

The following picture shows the 2 clamp bolts.

It is worth saying that later Pace RC36 forks moved to a more traditional pressed in steerer tube that isnt so easly exchanged.

Christ almighty...I should be on commission!
