Steerer tube length on new forks? 250mm?

big_southern_jesse

Morning all,

As in a previous thread, I've bee nlooking at getting new suspension forks for my '99 Giant.

Now I've searched this site, and looked over the manufacturers sites, but can't find the length of an uncut steerer tube on a new pair of forks.

I've been looking around ebay, and had a few sellers tell me that the uncut steerer lenght was around 200 mm or so.My current steerer tube comes in at about 250mm. This is on a 23.5" frame. Can anyone tell me what manufacturers usually spec as a length, 'cos I'm a little worried that none will be long enough.

Thanks, Jess.

generally a new fork will have a steerer long enough for any frame.

when i bought my new forks they had a steerer lenght just long enough to poke throught the tube.

Excellent! How long was the tube, or how large was the frame?

Should be fine then. Having wandered around the forums, I'd realised that it's quite a big frame I'm riding, wasn't sure if it'd still be catered for!

Cheers all, Jess.
