Got to pop in the cave tomorrow night mate so will get it for you if you haven't got it by then

I thought someone posted up the different fork lengths somewhere that have been fitted to the Firestorm/Superhawk including the standard forks length/height

I'm glad it's not just me then

I found this link (it's not the one I'm thinking of) but it has conflicting measurements. gl_s_r says it's 765mm, but Mac's link says it's 778mm (center of axle to top of stanchion tube)

Lets see what Watty comes up with, unless someone else chips in before then,

Hey mate, just been in the cave and measured! Deducting my 5mm pull through would give a standard measurement of 485mm from bottom of lower yolk to top of spindle. Spindle is 20mm so +10mm to spindle centre gives 495mm. Hope all that helps

That's great thank you xx
