Go for a ride with your massive set of allen keys and try moving the stem down in 5mm increments, until it starts to feel too low.
Then do one full ride ( 2-3 hrs ) to see if you get on with it BEFORE sawing anything. Saying that, if you took too much off, you could soon make up the height with some risers.
Following the above photo, @BareNecessities pointed out the rather excessive amount of spacers. I popped those on when I first got the fork with the intention of playing around with the stack height and seeing what works best. Evidently this slipped my mind! What are people's thoughts on ideal height? Is it just as simple as slamming it?
I realise it will in the end come down to personal preference, but as I have to ride 20 miles to get to some half decent trails to try it out, a quick guide would be invaluable!
