That metal is really soft. Are you going to go over the threads?

Putting the stem in a frame with a shorter neck?

My guess is that he plans to use the older chrome T3/G5 style steering head nut that goes down further, instead if the upside down type used on the later G5/SP which are black and need less threads.


That's my bet  :cool:
