I'm pretty sure that this is a safety issue, because the glue-in insert is 100mm long and needs to extend at least 20mm below the upper headset bearing in order for the steerer tube to be properly reinforced. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=102#post-580 Tue, 14 Dec 2010 22:52:35 +0000 JonC 580@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>jonjones13...</p> <p>It may have come from the fork manufacturer to keep people from over extending the steerer tube lenght, from a strenght standpoint. </p> <p>Jon@Moots </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=102#post-579 Tue, 14 Dec 2010 19:42:15 +0000 jonjones13 579@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>I thought I'd read somewhere that you recommend like 2cm of spacers max to ensure the frame remains stiff as you like...no? (did I dream it ??!!) </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=102#post-577 Tue, 14 Dec 2010 16:30:31 +0000 JonC 577@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>jonjones13,</p> <p>No max suggestion, cut it where you need it to fit properly for your drop from saddle to bars. </p> <p>Jon@Moots </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=102#post-573 Mon, 13 Dec 2010 11:55:08 +0000 jonjones13 573@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>I'm cutting a new fork to go on my RSL and I'm sure I read somewhere that Moots suggests a max steerer length for the RSL to ensure the stiffness is kept - any ideas fellas ? </p>
