My mate came over today for some help fitting some new forks (Tora 318s) and for the first time, I cocked up cutting to the right mark and made them too short. I feel like a right tit, especially all the times I'd said "measure twice, cut once" to other people.
Anyway, it's ended up with a 165mm steerer (I take it that's normally measured from the flat surface the crown race would sit on to the top?). Too small for his 20" inbred, even with no spacers - but would this be a usable length on some smaller frames? Was pondering building a new bike for my gf, else selling on here - or is it too short and I should start looking for a new steerer/crown assembly?
