ah yes, tyres.
that's look is some serious business.

Oh for fucks sake some one sell me some 1 1/8" integralters. Pleeeease!
Or we can trade for my 1''. :)

mill them out?

SadR I love it when you call out reposts.

No tape on the intergralter, maybe after they spent all that money they couldnt afford any. Who are these people?

mill them out?

Yeah some guys on here suggested that, in another thread but it might ruin their structural integrity and basically I wouldn't want to find out that they didn't hold up the hard way.

I thought about it myself to be honest and can mill them out neatly, at least I think so, but dont't know if it's safe.

Has anyone here tried it?

I'd hold off for a swap

what is the fork?
is it carbon or ally?
its possible to do it with leaving bars alone with a cost of 5 quid, but its a bit of a faff - depending on how determined you are.

Probably gonna do that

The forks I would use them with would be steel.

You tried it before? Know of anyone who has?

"No tape on the intergralter, maybe after they spent all that money they couldnt afford any. Who are these people?"

Maybe "these people" configure their bikes in a way that works for them, rather than in accordance with the general consensus of this forum, or perhaps they're just morons?

Probably the latter,

Usually hate them but on that build with the tri they just look epic!

yeah using it now

where the guy rides i don't think bar tape is as important than somewhere like the UK. still should have it though...

yeah using it now

awesome gonna pm you some questions if that's cool

I'd be surprised if the overall shape of the 1.125" alter is any different to the 1" alter, which would suggest that wall thickness/strength is good for 1.125" and over-engineered at 1".....
If that's correct, I'd take it as an invitation to ream the 1" alter or integralter to 1.125" if you want without too much concern for strength.
If you're not blessed with access to a toolmaker, this can be done pretty easily/accurately on a workbench/workmate with only 2 tools, an adjustable reamer and a tap wrench.

I couldn't find an adjustable reamer that goes from 1" - 1.125" on a quick glance, though I've no doubt such things exist.
The 2 below will take you from 15/16" (23.8mm) to 19/16" (30.2mm) so not only will they be good for this, but they'll also enable you to ream most common seat-tube sizes and remove seized posts too making you the envy of all your friends...

basically you adjust the cut depth as you go and use the steerer tube as a size gauge.

Note: this is lightly educated conjecture rather than hard fact or experience, so don't come to me with your dentist bills if it fails

Fuck Carbon.

Is that OK's leader?

I failed to learn any names on that ride but I guess?

Well I'm Indra.

But yeah it's his, DA front hub and Phil rear.

Thanks for the insight. I'm gonna look into this and ask around. I know this guy that tried this on an alter stem and ended up throwing it away. I have to find out some details though, this was a while back but I think he got rid of it due to personal error while milling.
