Quick question, I'm on the verge of buying one but the only fork I have at the moment has a 180mm steerer. If anyone that owns/has owned one of these could shed some light on whether I'll be able to get away with using this fork I'd be most greatful. Obviously Stem/headset is going to contribute towards overall stack height but I'm just after a few rough figures at this stage.

Also any pointers on setup etc would be great, the current parts I have lying around that I'm thinking of using for the build are some Magura Thor 2010s, Shimano Saint cranks, XT brakeset and mavic rims on hope hubs. Ideally I'd go for soemthing a bit lighter over the saints as they're circa 08 and wheels as they're a bit heavy too but funds are tight at the moment!

Cheers,
Ben

According to the geometry table the Small and Medium have a 110mm head tube and the Large/XL have a 125mm head tube.

You might just get away with the 180mm fork on the smaller frames but not on the larger ones.

You're a star, it's a medium frame so looks like I might be ok... Just!
