Can someone please tell me if the forks in the link will fit my Specialized Hardrock Pro 2011 with 80mm Suntour XCR

    if the steerer is long enough yes. Measure your steerer length.

    Yes, measure your steerer though, although 250mm should be plenty long enough

    Cheers, yer my steerer is 220mm. I've been trying to find something used, but 99.9% of everything I find the steerer is too short. :roll:

    Out of interest, how are you measuring your steerer?

    Don't tell me I've measured it wrong. lol

    Took the crown race off and measured from the base of the tube to the top. I'm sure that's gotta be right?

    No, that's correct. I thought you might have been measuring on the bike.

    Depending on the spacer and stack heights of things you could go shorter and compensate to your preferred height with steeper stem.

    Ok good.

    Yer I was just thinking about the stem, pretty sure mine is 6 degrees. I've seen quite a few forks at 210mm or so that difference could be made up with stem or bars.

    What height of spacers is your bike running above the headset and excluding the stem, they can just not be used!

    There's 2x 7.5mm spacers and a 5mm one, so yer could take one of more out.
