Hi guys, new here so apology if I have posted this in the wrong area or if the question has been answered before - but has anyone ever tried to extended their forks steerer by welding on an attachment?
I am currently building up a new bike (Specialized Enduro 2010) and purchased some forks online. Ends up the forks are about 1 - 2 cms short for the size of my frame. I have an old set of forks that I am thinking of cutting about 2cms from and then welding it on to my new ones. Has anyone tried this?
Also on a side note - does anyone know what material fox forks steerers are made of? I need to know before I begin welding as chrome, mild steel and alloy all need to be welded differently.
Cheers, Evan
