...is that they don't easily fit on roof racks, and you don't discover this until 5 minutes before you set off!!

150mm forks make the down tube sit about, ooh, 100mm ABOVE the clamp of the roof rack! Cue moderate amounts of head scratching, winding down of u-turn, then letting all the air out and compressing the fork so it just fits!

All this happening at 2030 last night! At least my bike got a wash (70mph in hooning rain...)
