When Fitting new forks, I cannot get the Stem to go onto the Steerer, I have not put any grease on as i heard you shouldnt, so is there any tips, or is it just More Force needed?

    have you trimmed the steerer tube? have you deburred it? have you undone the stem bolts fully?

    it is the correct size?

    you might just need to open it a bit. some stems can be very tight to fit.

    yes, i have made sure there are no imperfections on the steerer tube (even though i havent cut it down...), and yes, its the right size (was going to put that in the original post, but thought it might be silly)... Ill try opening the stem a bit, and the bolts are already out...
