Steering Stops on powdercoated frames...
Converting my 2001 xc300 frame from nickel plated to powdercoated, I notice my steering stops are going to quickly chew a hole in my powdercoating. The metal on metal was not a big deal on the plated frame, but now I wonder...
Is there any kind of bumper or soft something there on the new bikes? Is it metal on metal? Maybe I could substitute a nylon bolt for the stop. Hmmmmm... |

If it's to late to tig a nut on the frame so it can run a stainless bolt. Then a nylon bolt would be my next choice.

What did you do with this, Dean?
I find myself in the same predicament. Find any cool hardware solutions for us? Tim H |

Tim, I would give this a try

My '07 has small plastic inserts in the cap screw heads for this purpose. I'm sure you could find something in Mcmaster for that. We do a lot with precision stainless tubing where I work. Its shipped with protective plastic caps of all sizes, and there are many of these laying around. If I can find something that will work I'll send them to you.
