• OK, I'm finally coming round to the idea I'll never get a reasonably priced Ciocc chromed fork, so I need to cut down the one I have, which has far too long a steerer with the threads way too high. I'm thinking of cutting it down so it becomes a threadless fork then buying a 1" to 1 1/8" adapter for a stem with a slight incline. As well as the adapter and the new stem, presumably I'll need to buy a 1" threadless headset, right? And check that comes with a starnut?

    Cheers.

  • What is to stop you getting the fork cut and re threaded? Or would you prefer to go threadless.

    Ask as I'm having that dilemma.

  • It's a chromed fork all the way up to where the current threads are and I'm told that's a no-no when it comes to re-threading. Plus, I think I want to raise the front end a bit with an upward-sloping aheadset and get a stem that'll accept thicker bars.
