Why are fork steerer tubes always to short??

[rojo]

I have noticed on here and ebay that steerer lengths are always under 200mm. Are frames that need lengths in the 200mm plus mark rare???

I will be looking for steerer length around the 220mm mark soon and can see it being a right pain

I totally agree!!!

It is possible to have steel forks lengthened by frame builders though.

Why are you too long?

Yeah the frames i get are normally 150mm , then you got headset and stem so need at least 220mm forks

Gutting when you hear that someone has just got a set of forks and cut the steerer

Buy pace forks, you can always just buy a new steerer.

Didn't know that, are pace forks expensive and are they any good??

Um, being able to buy a new steerer is the best thing about them!
