I'm thinking about getting a new frame... A Transition covert.

Everything will go over form my current bike pretty much. BUT... I have 150mm forks.

Would it be ok to run the forks I have with the right headset while I save up for some new ones or will teh bike just be rubbish?

thanks.

Oh, so many times I've said that..so many ruined finances later... ๐Ÿ˜‰

Your forks should be fine, may just be a little tall on the climbs.

Tall? It's designed for 160mm forks.

Oh is it? I read 'Covert' but thought 'Trans-am'.
I assumed the problem was the other way around(without being bothered to look). It'll be a little short then... ๐Ÿ™‚

I've double, double checked... the right headset and it should all be ok.
