Wondering if any of you have an answer.

I just order a Yeti AS-X frame. I also ordered E13 cups w/ FSA bearings to be installed on this frame. I plan on running an '05 Z1 FR I fork.

I realize that the E13 cups and bearings will give a lower stack height. This will mean the crown will be closer to the headtube as well as the downtube.

I'm wondering if there will be a clearance issue with using a single crown fork, such as the Z1 I just got? I know that w/ a dual crown fork there isn't a problem since you've got some type of bumper for the stanchion anyway, but perhaps with a single crown fork you may have the adjustment knobs or crown gouging the downtube in a crash or really tight turn.

Does anyone know of issues related to using the E13 cups, and especially in conjunction with an AS-X frame?

You'd probably do better posting this in the DH forum... The Evil/E.13 guys don't venture in here much, nor do many other people...

My fox fork didn't hit the downtube of my AS-X with the cane creek, monster stack height, reducer headset. Actually it seems like there was ample clearance, I am guessing you'll be fine. My SX-R on the other hand would hit the down tube on my American Eagle, but that had some monster knobs on it.
