more thread on steer tube needed

[fast eddie]

does anyone know where i could find a die to thread a one-inch fork steer tube further down the tube? i have a fork that came off a a 26 road bike that i want to put into a semi-unique 20" frame for a cool look, but the steer tube threading doesn not far enough down the tube to install it on the smaller frame. thanx

You LBS could do it properly. Or you figure out some sort of spacer. I did this on this bike with some extra headset parts but I can' t remember how But I still have the bike so I can look when I get home.

Park sells one but its really expensive. I found a used one on e-bay and still had to pay about $50 for it. Its to bad you don't live close, you could use mine.

I used a bearing race from an old Schwinn. It is the kind where the bearing race fits into the frame and the bearing cup screws down the fork. here is a pic installed on the bike.

don't think that will work... i think the 1"x24tpi is bicycle only...it's NOT a pipe thread size

Is there enough thread sticking out the top to just cut and shorten the steer tube on the fork? I extended a steer tube 3/4 of an inch on one of mine without any problems. Just cut it half way, cut an extra half inch off or so, and weld it back together.
