Default fork touching frame

Hi,

I replaced the fork of a bike (changed from Rock-Shox Dart100 to Rock-Shox
Pike). Now when I try to turn the steerer backwards, the U-Turn (on the left)
and flood-gate adjuster (on the right) hit the lower tube of the frame.
Does anybody know a solution to this problem? I thought of placing a 30mm diam.
spacer (3mm height) between the lower headset cone and the forks crown...

Thank you for any suggestions, Chris

Some HS makers have a lower race extender for this very problem. Chris
King for example.

Don't turn the steerer backwards.
