Bike Fork Question
UFTriGator posted 1 year ago.
It depends on how high you want your handlebars and how tall your stem's clamp is. 8" is cutting it close. You definitely won't get much rise at all out of it, if any at all....assuming you can even get your stem on it. You need more numbers.

Hello All!
I recently purchased a new frame for a TT bike I plan on building up. I had a question though about the length of the steerer on the fork as I need to purchase a fork.
The headtube is 175 mm/6.89" So how much extra space do I need on the steerer? Do I need to go at least 2" more or can I get away with a fork that has an 8-9" steerer?
Thanks guys/gals!
