I'm a dinosaur with a 170mm "threaded" suspension front fork. I know these are relics, but I have an opportunity to replace my worn out one with a new 194mm threaded one, NOS off Ebay. Will this 24mm extra length produce any problems as far as securing it, as it has 40mm of top thread. I have a sneaky suspicion that there may not be enough thread left to secure it with the spanner nuts. Are there guidelines on whether you can use a longer steerer tubes? Or any tricks I'm unaware of? I know, I know, I should just convert over to a threadless type, but I'm "resistant to change".......
