Hi Iain,
The good news is I’ve fitted the fork and it feels like a baby downhill bike…..whilst sat on it in the kitchen.
As Chakaping mentioned, I think it’ll suit the bikes personality perfectly.
Took 3-4 hours to fit it. It was my first steerer cut and star nut fit, so I measured everything 10 times and proceeded slowly. I used a plumbers pipe cutter to do the cut and it worked perfectly.
The bad news is it’s been heaving it down and I’m a big Jessie, so haven’t been out riding yet.
I’m desperate to get out but I just know it will be miserable in this weather, will post a post ride report as soon as I can.
