Nope! Had a baby instead...
Thanks for re-motivating/minding me. I've just bought the fsa chainring tool and some dot 5.1 so I can finish it this weekend.

How do those work with top caps and compressing the headset?
-
• #856
You could stick it on top of a threaded steerer extender, all a bit funky though.

Hole in the back, longer bolt!

The Crust ld stem has a hole in the top for a steerer bolt so this one too I guess
Edit: too late -
• #859
Does it have a bung for the hole?
-
• #860
A bung?
-
• #861
To stop the water going down the hole. Or is it only a shallow recess for a bolt head?
-
• #862
Nah! Just a hole
-

Very nice. No need for one but might just buy anyway. How much steerer is needed?
-
• #865
About 55 mm, measures 65mm to stop but I can’t push it on my steerer that’s far
-
• #866
Ahhh, makes sense!

Okay... it’s stuck on my steerer... help.
Removed all bolts, the top bolt is spinning both ways. Wiggles side to side, moves up and down a few mm.. what to do?!
-

Put some handlebars on and try pull/turn it off whilst holding wheel straight ?
-
• #869
Flip the bolts into the threaded side, place a coin in the gap, tighten the bolts?
-
• #870
Have done both, stem spins, no lift though. Tried the open the gap more with a wedge but no change! So ducking weird... called it a night and painted the fence to relax my frustration. Have a look in the morning... my 2 year old will probably just pull it straight off the bugger!

? You should be able to tighten the bolts into the threaded section, against the coin(s) in the gap, and easily open up the clamp without damaging anything? ....if this doesn’t work, I don’t know what will!
-
• #872
Yeah I have done this, it spins, but won’t move upward!
-
• #873
Tried pulling down on the forks?
-
• #874
Ooooks! Can you leave outside to chill overnight, pour boiling water on the stem tomorrow morning, and see if that frees it?
-
• #875
Sort of, difficult with rack / basket / wheel / guard / space!
Can’t think what it is, there is a stop so the steerer can’t go “round” the bend...
Have you build this up? Any ride reviews?
