Anyone know the fork stearer length for a cannondale prophet,i'm looking at getting forks for a new build but the frame doesn't arrive till midweek so cant measure till then but i want to buy forks now.
Head tube on my large is 115mm (add headset & stem length), currently has a lefty fitted so can't give you an exact length to work to. Though I have a set of forks I used on it & there 215mm & are currently fitted to a gemini (looks aprox the same head stock), and currently have a 25mm of spacers fitted.. so I'd (conservatively) guess you want you want around a 200mm fork steerer.
This is all done with a measuring tape in the dark of my garage, so don't hold me to anything... 😉
I'm looking at forks with 220mm stearer,will that cover it comfortably you think?Sorry if i sound like a dumbass.but i am 😉
yep, with a 220mm steerer, there should be loads of excess (well min 20mm of spacers depending on your headset)
Just measured the Pike that was on mine until recently and it's 200mm. Had a Hope reducer and a good 15mm of spacers.

My small prophet headtube with 1"1/8 reducer headset is approx 135mm.
Cheers 🙂 looking at forks 140-150 range would i notice a big difference between the two........waits for comment stating "10mm worth of difference"
Not a dumb question at all btw!
I had 32s on then revs and I didn't notice the difference!
I had 150mm revs on mine with no problems , go for it.
Actually I've just got a new bike so the revs are for sale , email in profile if interested .
I have just taken an old set of forks off my prophet and the steerer was 185mm. Had one small spacer as well.
I've got rev u turns on mine, not found the sweetspot yet as only ridden a few times but it's somewhere between 140-150mm 🙂
Just got hold of some fox talas 110/140 205mm stearer,can I space them up to 120/150?
