I picked up a new fork today at my LBS. I had them cut it and install
the star nut. When I got home to install the fork, I noticed that
they had installed the star nut lower than the previous fork. So, my
adjusting bolt doesn't reach the star nut. Do I have to haul the
thing back to my LBS and have them reinstall the star nut (can you re-
use them?) or can I just put a longer bolt in? The length of the
current nut is about 35 mm - is there a maximum suggested length? It
just seems easier to put a new (+ 10 mm, or so) bolt in than screw
with the star nut....
