I have a 1 1/8" threaded fork and the steerer is too long for the bike so the threaded portion sits about 1 1/2" above the headset. I have done the following bodge - will I die? I've installed a threadless headset then used spacers until I reach the threaded section then I've used the top half of a threaded headset as a kind of surrogate start nut. Everything feels sturdy.
