I have been fiddling around with the fork crowns on my 09 Boxxer Teams. The user manual says "no more than 160mm of exposed upper tube above the lower crown".

Because I have a low stack height I had some stanchion above my upper crown. So I have dropped the stanchions through the crowns, and I can raise my bar height. Now the amount of exposed upper tube above the lower crown is now 140mm.

Is this safe to run and is there a minimum amount of exposed upper tube you can have above the lower crown? or is this measurement of 160mm fixed for the lower crown?

Sorry to bump this back up to the top but any help would be greatly appreciated. Sorry If this seems to be a really novice question. I hope my first post is understandable.

That should be fine to run. Ive done close to that and never had a problem.
