I have a surly 1x1 (newer geo) that I really want to run a 135mm rear hub on up front... sort of like the pugsleys with 2 rear wheels... you have a back up just in case... in this case if your alfine blows up).
I like the enabler but it is 15mm taller than my 1x1 fork.
the 1x fork is 453mm with 40mm offset and the salsa enabler fork is 468 with a 45mm offset.

Anybody tried anything like this... any ideas on how it will affect the handling. I wouldnt mind losing a few headset spacers anyway.
Im considering just trying it and selling if i dont like it, but the fork is not cheap.

thanks in advance
