Has anyone heard of somebody removing the steerer stop on a supersix?
I'm building up a 2020 one that predates the fix they put in place with metal reinforcement inside the headtube for the fork pin to butt against.
I wondered about grinding off the pin so that if the bike oversteers because of a crash or the bars just falling to the side in the stand, it will only be the brake hose which takes the hit. If I've crashed, it's most likely the ride over anyway so I figure at least the frame might be saved even if I have to replace a damaged brake hose.
