Knock block prevents that. And if you're running your fork crown into your
down tube, you've got more to worry about than steering limiters.
That being said, here is my next bit. The straight shot downturn increases
frame stiffness immensely and with no weight penalty. I owned a 2014 Remedy
29er just before my 2017 Remedy RSL. The detectable differences in wheel and
frame stiffness give the bike some much more atttitude in so many feelable
circumstances. Not being able to turn my bars a far enough to impact my down
tube with my fork crown hasn't even crossed my mind on the mountain… except
for when I crashed a few weeks ago. I'm which case, I'm glad it was there,
because it saved my top tube and hbar/controls from getting all crunched up
into each other!
In my opinion, it's already saved one bike… my 2017 9.8 slash will go down at
some point as well, and when it does, I will be glad it's there to save the
frame in at least a few probable crash scenarios.
