So, I’ve got some nice new forks to put on my Parkwood frame. From riding with the old forks, I’m sure I’ll want the stem as low as possible.
Should I just cut the steerer to fit without spacers? I’m not running a particularly low stack stem at the moment, and I reckon if I change frame at any point I wouldn’t want to raise the bars anyway, but I wouldn’t want to limit my choice.
(Looking at, say, specialized camber and OO Codeine frames, the head tubes in my size frame are a little shorter).
So do I dare cut it exact and not allow for future longer head tubes?
