Hi I have a carrera fury frame and I have just received some rockshox recon silver forks, the steerer tube is 175mm long and the steerer tube sticks out 38mm past the head tube is this sufficient enough to work safely and enough for a stem to clamp onto and be safe
Thanks
Matthew

Depends on the stem - the top of the stem should ideally be 2-5mm higher than the steerer.0

So the steerer tube of the fork isnt to short to use

Was that a question or a statement or something else?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

Like supersonic said, as long as you have 2-5mm of the stem above the top of the fork steerer then yes it should be ok."Arran, you are like the Tony Benn of smut. You have never diluted your depravity and always stand by your beliefs. You have my respect sir and your wife my pity"

But it means that you will never be able to experiment with bar height if that is your kind of thing...0
