sandwich Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 (edited) Hi all, new to the forum, as well as the sport. I want to set up my bike for learning barspins (and later on, whips). After searching online, the general idea seems to involve using a larger diameter hollow stem bolt and starnut set... The problem is that I run an echo urban fork with the extra thick steerer tube, and it doesnt seem like this hollow bolt starnut would fit ( I assume they're designed for forks with regular thickness steer tubes)... Does anyone have suggestions for running the brake cable through thick steerer tubes? Thanks. Edited March 19, 2010 by sandwich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 only way would be to run no steerer but...there wouldnt be any space for a hollow bolt large enough to take a cable in one of those wee star nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sstein Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 You can remove one of the arms of the star nut that you use currently and drill a hole through the top cap. Then just run your cable through. Alternatively use a headlock and drill a hole through that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandwich Posted March 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 I run an odyssey linear slic brake cable. I can't find any info on its outer diameter, but do you think it would fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither of these ideas are really practical with the echo urban steerers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
