  1. hihi,

    I need expert help.as i did a stupid mistake.
    I bought a NIB Giant carbon blade fork for my 2003 OCR3 bike.
    I didn't checked before ordering it, i received it, it's a threaded one !
    Now i've got 2 problems :
    How can i mount this nice fork on my bike as my headset is threadedless.
    The fork tube is 3-4 inch too short and even doesn't come out of the frame tube !.

    As someone already solved that kind of situation ? is it possible to extend the fork tube ? how ?

    Thanks in advance

    There is no cost effective fix.Send it back or Sell it and start over.

    You're sh**t out of luck. Return it and get a new one. There is no safe fix for a short steerer tube.
