fork spacer od

Thanks to everyone who replied to my post regarding the fork spacers. I
replaced the butchered stockers with some PVC sprinkler pipe connectors. The
kind that have no threads, double female connectors, they are appx. 1 7/8"
long and the front end feels 100 times better without the extra 1" of
preload. The reason I couldn't just cut more off the stock spacers is because
the pipe cutter I have needs material on either side of the cutting wheel to
pivot on. Also the thin walled design of the stock spacers makes them a bitch
to work with if they are cut to 3" length, they flex way too easy and the
pipe cutting wheel tends to wander rather than rotate in a straight line.
No extra air in the forks..
