How much...?

Are you guys saying that I have to use a spacer?

The way I see it, the steerer should NOT stick out above the stem to be able to "torque" the headset?

I.e. Head tube + top and bottom headset + stem = 175mm, so if I get a fork with 170 steerer then I've got 5mm to "compress" the headset (without spacers)

 

Whoops, damn my mind is getting away from me some days

 

 

You are correct so with that setup min should be 173mm if my thinking is correct
