The lockout knob does hit the downtube as mentioned above, so I am off to buy a 5mm King 'Tall Baseplate'. </p> <p>Just thought I would mention this in case others run into the same situation.</p> <p><a href="http://chrisking.com/parts/baseplates" rel="nofollow">http://chrisking.com/parts/baseplates</a> </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=313#post-1825 Fri, 06 May 2011 12:10:06 +0000 cincytri 1825@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Thanks for all of the replies.

Peace of mind for sue. </p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Jon@Moots </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=313#post-1817 Thu, 05 May 2011 12:55:18 +0000 woody 1817@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>I have a early 2010 22" MXYBB and I needed to add the 5mm race. I'm running a 2010 Fox RLC and if I turn the handlebars all the way to the right the top of the fork would hit the down tube. I was not comfortable running it like that because I'm not ever going to turn the bars that far in a "controlled" turn just in an "uncontrolled" turn.</p> <p>Just what gearguy said, "The added clearance is there for peace of mind." </p> <p>Woody </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=313#post-1814 Thu, 05 May 2011 11:31:37 +0000 teamfubar 1814@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>The +5 crown race is available right from King for $12. <a href="http://chrisking.com/parts/baseplates" rel="nofollow">http://chrisking.com/parts/baseplates</a></p> <p>I'd install the fork and see if it clears first. If it does, don't worry about it. Obviously, if it doesn't, get a +5 race. The reason this happened is because the downtube on 29'ers was a bit steeper angle than a 26" frame, causing contact from some forks, esp. those with "stanchion top" adjusters (like the Rock Shox U-Turn). Also, the 29'er frames at the smaller size of the spectrum had a bigger issue with this because of shorter front end length, causing an even steeper downtube. A lot of both frame and fork manufacturers have addressed this and if it is all new equipment, it might not be an issue. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=313#post-1813 Thu, 05 May 2011 10:04:33 +0000 gearguywb 1813@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>IMHO I think the worry about the fork hitting the downtube is blown out of proportion. Could it happen on some forks, yes. Only cause an issue if: 1. The fork actually does make contact (some clear), and 2. You would be in a situation where the bars were cranked violently to one side far enough to cause the issue, and hard enough to dent the top tube.</p> <p>The added clearance is there for peace of mind. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=313#post-1811 Thu, 05 May 2011 08:46:52 +0000 cincytri 1811@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>I read at least one MTBR.com review in which the poster stated that he needed a +5 crown race to prevent the front fork rebound adjuster from swinging and dinging his frame. I plan on running a Fox fork and King headset- do I need to worry about this "+5mm crown race?" My LBS (not a Moots dealer) has never heard of this part BTW. Thanks. </p>
