Carbon fork - MAX steerer length?
What's the maximum length that a carbon steering tube can stick out of the HT?
I read somewhere that it's around 40mm. Is this true?
I'd like to upgrade my fork, but 40mm would put me lower that i'd like to be.
Sub, or pre-question - Can a steerer extender be removed? I have something similar to the Delta extender, and i think i don't need it anymore.
Thanks.
EDIT :Road bike, of course.

On an 1 1/8” fork you can use a maximum of 4.0 cm/1.58” of spacers.
On a 1” fork you can use a maximum of 2.5 cm/1.0” of spacers.

You just have to use a stem with more rise.

For a 1" carbon steerer the usual recommendation is 25 mm (1") maximum. for a 1-1/8" carbon steerer the usual maximum is 30 to 40 mm but Easton allows 50 mm on their forks.
Would an up-angle stem, say a 6° or 10° stem installed in the higher position, give you the bar height you want?
