I would personally run the first set on a steel fork like this… from what I understand the risk is wearing down the fork? Maybe Im wrong, curious what others think

My gut tells me you’re safe to grind about 2mm. I would stop at the fork crown but the steertube is fair game imo.

I would not recommend anyone else do this on anyones bike. No way. No how. Not for a customer. Not for a friend. Not my wife’s bike. Never. But… If it was my own bike yeah I would totally grind that down.. It’s probably fine.

IMO you can definitely grind it, but you can also leave it. The worst that will happen is debris will grind it for you! The stays are generally the bigger concern, which you have plenty of space on. Wheels also rarely get out of radial true compared to lateral true.
