I'm doing a F3 Cartridge fork update on a '17 SV, and I (foolishly)
forgot to measure the free length of the OEM forks before taking
everything apart.

The F3 fork tubes are longer than the SV's, but they might not sit as
high in the sliders. This means I don't have a known starting point
for setting up the geometry with the new forks.

(slaps forehead)

If you have a Gen-3 and can take a measurement *WITH THE FRONT WHEEL
OFF THE GROUND*, I'd be forever in your debt.

This is the measurement I need: From the bottom of the lower
triple-clamp to the top of the dust seal:

A random punchline:

THEY'VE DONE IT, IT'S FINALLY HAPPENED, THE CUBS WON THE WORLD SERIES!!!
