Bicycle fork steerer tube adapter for maintenance
prusaprinters
<p>I keep the 28.6mm (1 1/8") steerer tube from an old fork handy for when I'm pulling the fork from a bike for maintenance. This allows me to push in the old steerer as I remove the fork which will hold the stem and headset parts in place. This looks like a top cap but serves to align the fork steerer tube and the old steerer tube. Hopefully the photos will make this a bit clearer, but once you print this and attach it to an old fork like a top cap, you can use it like so:</p> <ol> <li>Remove the top cap on the fork you're removing.</li> <li>Remove the brake caliper and anything that would keep the fork from dropping out.</li> <li>Place the scrap fork steerer with this thing in place on top of the fork you're going to work on.</li> <li>Loosen the stem bolts, and then push the fork out by pushing the scrap steerer tube down into the stem and through the headset</li> <li>Remove the fork for maintenance, leaving the scrap steerer in place until you're ready to reassemble.</li> </ol> <h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Category: Sport & Outdoors Summary</h3> <p>I keep the 28.6mm (1 1/8") steerer tube from an old fork handy for when I'm pulling the fork from a bike for maintenance.
