if it's too short to get a stem on, it's too short to get that extender on.

If it's simply a matter of comfort, then those work.

Pretty ugly though.

I used that exact one on my bar crawling, fender bearing, beat up, sure you can borrow it, dented bike.

This should work. Cheap and widely available.

So? I can´t think of a reason it should not work with a threadless fork. Would not try it with a carbon steerer tube though.

i deleted that

i see your point, but thats not the intended purpose of that thing.

also, if it's an aluminum steerer tube, it certainly won't work because the inner diameter won't be correct.

if it's steel, i hope the inner diameter of the steerer tube is correct.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
