Wanted: To borrow: 1" tap for fork steerer!

Posted on
  • Hello chaps. So my new build has hit a stumbling block. The threaded bit on the steerer tube is shy of about 3mm in length, so the headset cant screw down far enough before running out of threads. I figure the best way to sort this is to thread my streerer a few mm lower down.

    Sooo, does anyone have a 1" tap for threaded steerers I can borrow??

  • Have, in Earls Court. Can you bring the forks to my tool, rather than vice versa?

  • Taps cut internal threads

    Dies cut external threads
