Fork adjusters hit mmmBop downtube
supertwisted

I kind of saw this coming, but hey ho.
The rebound adjuster on my Fox F32s catch on the downtube of my mmmBop frame using this headset:

Now, obvious answer is get a different headset.
But is there a way round the problem (that isn't a total bodge)? I've seen a few posts about spacing the crown race off the bottom of the steerer.

The woodman headset the LBS fitted on my GT frame has quite a large stack height, just an idea0

I wouldn't want to space out the bottom of a headset... it would mean less of the cup is inside the frame.
FSA pigs have a pretty big stack height...

I wouldnt want to space a crown race either. As the steerer usually tapers at the bottom so the crown race is tight. if you spaced it it would be loose.
have a search on here, theres plenty of mmmmbops on here, id be suprised if you were the first with the issue.0 -

Indeed I did. On another thread I now can't find Brant chipped in and said he used something to space the crown race up a little.
I should probably bite the bullet and order a new headset...Less internal organs, same supertwisted great taste.0 -
If it helps, here's a photo of my woodman semi integrated headset, like i said, quite a high stack height, might be your answer.
