Can you change steerer tube on rockshox?

Yes you can do it, I do it, but it takes special tooling to not damage anything and every job carries the risk of scrapping the whole thing. Getting a new steerer will be difficult.

Are all steerer tubes the same?

The standard sizes are 1 inch, 1 1/8 inch, 1.25 inch and 1.5 inch steerers. You may occasionally come across a 1-inch threadless steerer, but you’re more likely to find a threaded steerer in this size. 1 1/8 inch threaded steerers are, however, quite common.

Do I need a crown race?

Why Do you Need One? Without a crown race, the bottom headset bearing will become bound to the steerer tube base after torquing. The crown race is the only thing that separates the headtube and fork. Without it, the headtube (of the frame) and fork will sit flush against each other.

We can fit ND Tuned 1 1/8 and 1 1/8- 1 1/2 tapered steerer tubes to Fox and RockShox forks. If you have cut your fork steerer too short, got a new frame or bought a second hand fork we can fit a new steerer tube rather than buy a new CSU or fork.

If you have cut your fork steerer too short, got a new frame or bought a second hand fork we can fit a new steerer tube rather than buy a new CSU or fork. We can fit an ND Tuned 1 1/2-1 1/8 adapter so a 1 1/8 steerer can be fitted to a 1 1/2 fork Please note this is not a Fox or RockShox authorized procedure and will void warranty.

Can I use a new steerer to replace a Broken Crown?

Okay, so if the crown is/was damaged/stressed/strained beyond/near to its limits, would the more brittle paintwork show signs of this, eg flaking/stretching etc.. If you can get hold of a new steerer then yes you could fit it. I’d freeze the steerer then press it in.

Does Rs sell steerers alone?

AFAIK RS don’t sell steerers alone, they only sell the complete crown/steerer/stanchion assembly. you cant buy these parts because its not safe to replace a steerer tube. there could be stress fractures around the top of the forks you cant see! there only recons so pick up a new set £160 ish.
