Thanks

not possible.
look at some other forks."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

So with no spacers, the Reba steerer is not long enough?0

165 is very short. I bet they're cheap.I don't do smileys.

Yes, a Reba with sufficient length in the steerer.0

How much (mm) of the Recon's are above the stem (and spacer's?) - would removing spacers and getting a lower stack stem be an option?"Why have that extra tooth if you're not using it?" - Brian Lopes

huh? You want to do the opposite of that!
Remove all spacers, get a low stack stem and if the steerer then fits you might wanna get a set of riser bars to bring your riding position back to where it was."Why have that extra tooth if you're not using it?" - Brian Lopes

I think he's referring to the extenders you can bolt in....very bad idea when your life can literally depend on the front wheel staying where it is!Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0
