[RBW] Steerer Tube Honing
My Tech and Tallux stems both "buttomed" out in both my Rivbikes' steerer tubes. I got a Nitto Pearl stem. Has less rise. Also, the Tech Deluxe has less rise . 190mm quill, I think. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

That makes perfect sense. I just cleaned it up with the hone. I didn't take anything off. The butted steerer tubes I'd seen previously have been Columbus and had helical ridges so when I didn't see them I didn't give it any thought. Thanks for the advice! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

The steerer is butted and it sounds like you have inserted the stem to the transition. The butt is there to reinforce a highly-loaded part of the bike. Don't try to turn it down. Instead, seek ye a shorter-quill stem. Best, Will William M deRosset Fort Collins CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Steerer Tube Honing
I'm trying to put a fairly long Technomic stem in my Heron and it is only going about halfway down the steerer tube. It didn't seem rusty or anything, but I cleaned it up and tried taking a few thousandths off or knocking off any high spots with a brake cylinder hone. It's nice and shiny now but to no avail. Anyone encounter this before? If so, how'd you fix it? Thanks, Frank Conway Bedford, NH -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
