Does the LBS have an opinion on putting a spacer at the bottom? Would it be strong enough?
That was the first thing I asked, and the mech. advised not to do that..
I'm not sure if that was because of strength issues, or because of headset holding issues..
IMHO, a 30mm shorter axle-to-crown dimension will make a huge difference in handling, especially on a bike with small wheels. You will also lower your bottom bracket significantly.
Thanks for sharing sqynt-san.
I was afraid of that might be an issue...& unfortunately, its co$ting to find this out..Errr...
Looks like the forks are designed to fit mini-velo's with the really long headset tubes, like the Hammerhead, and Gios mini's.
If the Diacomp headset that Jur mentioned can hold everything together, then besides potential strength issues, I don't see why using spacers below the headset (above the actual fork) wouldn't work..~ but then, that's alot of piece-milling...
