New frame with uncut threaded fork?
What's the standard here? I just received my Bob Jackson Audax End-End frame and started putting it together. Installed Record headset and crown race on fork. As I put the fork into the frame with headset cups installed, I noticed the threaded steerer is about 3/4 inch too long. Do frame builders generally leave a bit of steerer so there is some leeway on the headset stack height? Or is this an oversight? I'm thinking it was an oversight because the headtube length was shortened compared to the standard headtube length for my size frame due to the fact that I opted for Paul Racers. I was told that the Pauls raised the fork crown due to where the studs are placed for Paul Racers.
