Hi,
Just got a bargin set of Carbon Forks :-) The down side is that they are too short in the steerer tube by about 25mm. Has anyone ever 'extended' a carbon steerer tube or has any idea how this could be achieved. I am in the engineering business and have access to quality aluminium and all the tools to manufacture an extension tube the correct sizes. Can you bond a stepped tube to the top of the carbon. Could I extend the steerer with a sleeve and use the stem to hold it all together. This is for a road bike, if that makes any difference.
