Hi, this is my first time here (referred from an automotive board), so sorry in advance if there is a better forum in which to post this question. I just got back into mountain biking and my girlfriend is buying a Kona Cinder Cone or Caldera tomorrow. Can't wait.
I have a question about installing a suspension fork. I have a 1995 Stumpjumper M2 with an OLD Rock Shox Mag 21 that was installed by a bike shop way back when. I just got a great deal on a new 2001 Judy XC w/80mm (3 inches) of travel.
Question: I have to cut the steerer tube. How much do I cut? I could copy my other fork, but I'm not sure if the shop did it right in the first place. I could copy the rigid fork that came with the bike, but do I have to compensate for a certain amount of sag? Any help pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
