Possibly a silly question, but:
Recently I treated myself to a brand new fork from our online friends in Germany. I'm now faced with the task of cutting the steerer down to size, a dilemma I have never faced before, as I've only bought second hand until now.
I need around 170mm/175mm, which is what my current fork is cut at. BUT.. I'm thinking I will most likely use this fork on whatever bike I get next or may sell it one day. In order to maximise re-use and resale value, is there a magic number (or range of numbers) that is deemed 'a good length'? Because I have no idea, and I don't care about using a few extra spacers if it saves me from having a useless fork down the road.
