To those of you still using rulers to measure things...

We got rid of Sky years ago, but I sensibly held on to the remote in anticipation of an event such as this (my wife must feel so stupid right now). It is thanks to this foresight that I know the steerer to be in the region of 170mm.

I am equally prepared if I receive measurement in Nokia chargers, empty whisky bottles, or stringless violins inherited from grandparents.

I reckon you are in the right ball park. Should be fine with a low stack set up, given a frame with a short-ish head tube.

Re: Re:

I think I know why you're not getting a proper size.

My Bulls has a 10cm (4") headtube with them modern integrated bearings and I run a very compact build (only one 5mm ring and then the stem) , and even then my steerer tube is more than half an inch longer. In other words, you'll need an extender if you want to use that fork on anything other than a kid's bike.

Rubbish! - it'd be fine on a Surly..

That was funny, who in their right mind would do that?

Thanks for the spam Martin!

Apparently a Sky remote is a popular method of demonstrating the length of certain male body parts on certain 'specialist' websites. I'd guess this guy was maybe measuring his boaby prior to your request.

He was a she. Knew the postage was high...obviously shipping from Bangkok.
