The Bike Shop / Re: Steerer Tube Threading/Compression Bolt Size and Fork Failure

Yeah I see so many videos online where forks are snapping and it doesn't seem to be the lower headset cup where they used to break it's always the fork breaking at the top and the stem part coming off. I wouldn't want to imagine this happening at the bottom of a big stairset or something.

1mm less wall thickness is a fair bit when it's on a steerer.

Lathes are mega flexible, you can do a lot of things with one other than turning if you put your mind to it.

Only thing that sucks ass about imgur is that you can't resize the photo on the site directly. Have to do it in Photoshop and then upload it. Also, it rapes picture quality. Far from the best.

Minus.com is great for high quality hosting and ctrlv.in is great for convenience.

You can go to edit on Imgur and resize no problem.

I wanna go. I'm guessing the mechanic wage in Canada is about the same level as the UK sadly.
