I goofed and cut my 1 1/8" carbon steerer tube too short. I purchased a cheap fork ($48) off eBay to use as a length of steerer tube. I cut off 6 inches of my steerer tube and replaced it with the desired length of steerer tube cut from the eBay fork. To do this I bought a 1" wood dowel and cut a 4" length. I sanded the length of wood dowel until it fit snug inside the steerer tube ( the tube diameter is slightly smaller than 1 inch). I inserted one end of the wood dowel into the remaining tube and the other end into the cut length of tube and bonded it with epoxy. I now had the desired length of steerer tube, and one I could count on not to fail.
