Step 3Miter and weld stem
Cut and miter (mitering means to cut or grind joint to fit together snuggly for welding) stem extension onto stem upright.
I used a tube with an inside diameter that the bike's stem fit inside (just like the fork's steerer tube).
Weld in place with goopy weld. I use a MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welder with flux core wire and no shielding gas. This really helps me avoid pretty welds.
