Think this was covered in another thread a couple of days ago!
The fork legs on the way big Crosslinks were longer than standard to compensate for the longer steerer.
Orange is the best bet he's just got rid of a way big 857.
C'mon Ed what do y know?

never had crosslinks on my Way Big is the answer - sorry!!

You have one set of my crosslinks, somebody else now has the other set (Noleen ones) but I don't recall what size they were except they fitted Large frames.

My standard crosslink is 234 mm. Since the difference in CM is 37 mm.(163 and 200 mm) between the standard and long It would be logical to assume the the difference in the steerer tube would be the same.
