EZ how to solve fork tube no thread problem

[Uncle Stretch]

Ok this is one way to solve the problem of not enough threads on your fork.

I really like your vids. Good fix too. I had not thought of that before.

I might be borrowing this idea on my stingray because I haven't had much luck trying to find a shop that will thread a fork.

I like the idea of disguising it with a chrome spacer.

I'm sure some folks here could come up with even more creative spacer ideas.

Great video!

Hmmm... machined aluminum tiki, maybe?

Ok I'm bored and I can't resist using up my photobucket space with stuff. I know there are alot of ways to do this, but this one is simple and quick. Lots of times you wind up with long fork tubes on monark and such. Its an easy fix to use them.

Great tip... Now I won't have to cut that hard to find 1" threaded steer

I did this for a recumbent I'm building. I just so happened to have a 1" cone shaped grinding wheel that cleaned out the threads perfectly round. I also did this in a drill press. Works great. :wink:

anyway i can get a description of the process, for some reason my computer freezes on photobucket videos.

All your doing is to grind the threads out of a normal nut that would screw down on the top race bearings. Then cut a spacer to slide over the fork tube to whatever length you need and then put the big nut back on top to hold everything together.
