Hi all,
I have bought new forks for my current build and did a trial fitment with them lastnight and the bottom bearing race/seal sits about 5-6mm above the crown race. The alloy steerer tube seems to have a slight taper in the last 10mm or so and this is as far as i can get the steerer to go.
Should i get a bit of pipe and hit the bottom race/seal down so it sits on the crownrace, or alternatively file the last 10mm of steerer tube so that the race/seal will go down further?
OR can i just bang a 5mm spacer in there?
Cheers.
