Afternoon, I have been offered a deal on a set of roadmaster forks but the headtube is long so I am assuming they are from a girls bike. My question is can they be cut down to fit a shorter headtube. They are the ones with the springs on each side and the truss rod is part of it , dont know if that makes sense but there is a set on ebay like them. They also come with a set of Lightning Dart whitewalls.
 
I don't know the measurements exactly, but the boys were longer to accommodate the taller bolt and the extra room needed for the truss bars at the top. If it's a girls, you can either add something like a couple bearing cups to take up the extra space, or, if you want to cut it down, both the steer tube and the truss bars will need to be cut down and re-threaded.
