Customers praise this steerer tube extender as a "perfect solution" that solves short steerer tube problems without expensive fork replacements. "Works as expected" and "excellent quality" noted frequently. Most report easy installation, solid construction, and fast global shipping. Two customers experienced fit issues or slipping concerns. "Great for tricky short steerer tubes."
Installed without epoxying at first and it was slipping so I epoxied it and it was still slipping. I though my epoxy job was bad so I thiriughly cleaned it, sanded the inside of the stem and installed it perfectly. It still spins. I ordered a cheap AliExpress oven for 1/10th of the cost which had a metal grove (as per pics. That prevents the extender from spinning. There is nothing preventing it from turning on itself besides some metal on metal friction. The extender slso did not fit square in my fork ( which is ok as per measurements). Kneeling is also quite small and doesn’t « grip » as well as cheaper version. I like that it’s longer.
I recently built up another bicycle with a very nice used Colnago C50 frame. The previous owner had cut the steering tube shorter than what I prefer. I fabricated an extension solution but felt there had to be a better way. I noodled around the internet looking for a solution I thought was safe and would work and came across the Velobike steer tube extender. I ordered it and a very pleased with it's design, function, and feel it is the best extender on the market. The folks a Velobike are great to work with and I highly recommend them.
One of my customers needed to raise her stem by 1 cm, and this extender did a fantastic job. It fits well and is great quality.
The difference between mild chronic discomfort and an awesome ride height was 10mm... a slightly too short steerer is now the right length with a bit of room for further adjustment. Well made product, quick postage, really nicely presented, stickers and a thank you note to round off a great purchase experience! My Fairlight Strael is now perfect!
Bought the 10mm expander so I can add another spacer underneath my stem. Bottom half clamps on steerer itself and top half clamps to the expander. Haven’t had any issues and already rode the bike multiple times.
It's very well designed. Just 25g heavier than the Specialized extender. I've glued it with rather strong epoxy just to be on the safe side. I can swap between 3mm and 10mm. I hope won't make you any troubles, but there is also 3mm version so you can swap it back to the previous height even it's glued. You can ask. After two rides on tarmac, cobbles, and light gravel, I love it. Shipping and taxes to the EU cost as much as the product itself, but it's worth it.
Did not fit in my factor ostro. 58 part cost, 67 euro customs(never informed), 30 delivery cost. Sorry but it was the worst transaction I ever did.
Hi Alex, we're sorry to hear about your recent experience with our product. We want to clarify that our steerer tube extenders are designed to fit round 1 1/8' tubes, and unfortunately, they are not suitable for D-shaped steerers like the one pictured on your Factor Ostro. We understand your frustration with the additional customs fees, but please note that we are unable to inform customers of the exact amount as these are collected by the local government of the country the goods are imported into. As stated on our website home page and shipping info page, our prices do not include taxes as we are not able to collect them on behalf of every country. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.
This part is everything I hoped it would be. Very high quality, amazing packaging, quick delivery to the other side of the world, and it allowed me to extend my steerer tube a couple of mm above the stem, add a top spacer and eliminate an annoying creaking sound.
Many of the frames I build, like the TIME ADHX, come with short steering tubes. And in the case of the TIME, which is a Allroead bike, I need more stack under the stem. So, I end up mounting the stem at the very top of the steerer, with one clamping screw at the top edge or slightly beyond. The Velobike Steerer Tube Extender is a wonderful piece of engineering, that perfectly solves my problem, allowing the top clamping screw to exert force on the solid extender, rather than the edge of the steerer tube. Thank you, Luke and team, for producing a beautiful, problem solving product like this!
Just installed and impressed! the 50mm insertion Depth seems to add more rigidity to the hollow tube. Well constructed and worth every penny!
Looking good! I'd recomend to lower the stem by another few mm if possible so more surface area of the stem is in contact with the steerer tube. This will further increase the assembly stiffness, security and safety.
I see that your stem is positioned in a negative angled position (pointing downward relative to the axis of the steerer tube). If you flip it pointing upwards you can lower it on the steerer tube while achieving the same (or very similar) handlebar position. This is a win win for further increased front end stiffness, greater aero gains and a safer assembly =)
Works as expected! Great for tricky short steerer tubes
Awesome!
Great product. Brilliant service from the crew at Velobike Innovation!
Excellent quality product. Solves my problem with the steerer cut too much
Worked perfectly
Easy to install look strong 👍
Awesome product worked just as described solved my to lower stack height without having to spend a lot of money on a new fork.
Bought the 15mm model. Perfect; seems solid. Good finish.
I order thursday evening from Sweden and it arrived monday after lunch. Superfast!!
Nice quick service. Product arrived fast
I bought a used Cannondale SystemSix and the steerer was cut too short. This allowed me to get a few extra millimetres of stack height and gave me confidence to know the stem had a solid clamping area.
Good product. Excellent packaging. Fast shipping. Highly recommended !!!
Needed a tiny bit more steer tube length. This was the perfect solution. It's a great quality product. Everything from the machining to the packaging is excellent. I wish I'd got a tiny bit shorter one as the bulge underneath my top cap touched the steer tube before engaging my stem but I had a spare top cap that worked and was my own fault for not measuring closer.
The quality of the product is top notch and worked perfectly. The part came very quickly with customer service always being excellent.
Fit perfectly inside my fork without issues, got the 10mm extender. Fast postage and really high quality product. Thank you team!
Awesome quality product
Exceptional service. Product engineered beautifully. Personalised hand written thank you was not missed! Hats off all round. Highly recommended.
I made a mistake by cutting the fork steerer tube to fit the correct length. Searching for a solution, I found Velobike and chose their 18mm extender, which compensated for the missing length. I must say, it arrived from New Zealand to Ireland in 5 business days; DHL does their job. I really liked the packaging, and overall, I think the customer service is excellent—description, product quality, FAQ, delivery, packaging. I would recommend the brand to my friends.
