205mm of steerer and the head tube length is 170mm, but i forgot about the headset cups
If it's a conventional (EC34) headset, you're fucked. 205-170=35, minimum EC34 headset is going to be about 24mm e.g. Cane Creek 10 or 40 with my specific low cover, leaving 11mm for the stem
gbj_tester-
11mm for a stem should be fine though yeah?
sort of already knew the answer but I was hoping there had been some futuristic nano bearings invented or something.
oh well!
I do have another frame that these forks will fit but not the intended frame and it will mean a lot of faffing about.
maybe I should just sell them.
or sell everything and give up cycling altogether.photo attached so you can laugh at my stupidity

is there a low stack 1-1/8" headset design that would allow me to run some forks i have purchased on my straight steerer steel framed bicycle?
it's possible that i have made a slight error in that the forks have 205mm of steerer and the head tube length is 170mm, but i forgot about the headset cups #facepalm
