|   SID carbon race question | 8speed
Jan 18, 2002 3:54 PM | | quick question. with a carbon road fork, i've always cut the steerer a couple mm long so that it sits above the top of the stem to prevent it from getting crimped. anyone know if you have to do the same with the carbon SID? thanks. |

Just to be safe, you can ask the folks at Rockshox. |

Jan 19, 2002 4:31 PM | | Actually I've read in Velonews that in a pro road team (can't remember which) they cut all forks a bit long and put a spacer on top for exactly that reason. Most people/shops don't do it. It may not be necessary, especially on 1-1/8" steerers, but if you want to be on a safe side it sure won't hurt. |
