Ok, so I got my Boxxer, and I've got it on. The only problem is that the previous fork was cut at 9.5inches, but there were 2big and 1small spacer between the stem and upper crown. The Boxxer is cut a 9inches, and will only have enough steer tube if I dont run any spacers. My question is, do I have to run any spacers? The bike feels good as is, but I thought I would just check.

One note:
Make sure the bottom of the stem is flat and sits flush with the upper crown on the Boxxer. Some short stems only have enough flat surface on the bottom to contact spacers, leaving little room for the crown...and some stems just aren't perfectly flat to begin with.
