I am fitting a 490mm height fork on a frame where the max recommended is 470mm.

What is going to happen to me when I ride it ?

Details of the frame (mine is a L)

...based on large frame as your chart: 1 deg slacker HA/SA, 7mm higher BB

Be fine, crack on.

Brilliant. Thank you. I expected not to be a big issue, particularly when my technique is the weakest link... by far !

Cracking on.
