Endohopper Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 You mean the plastic collar that acts as a wedge ? Most I've encountered have a split to help as they are quite tight . Which Headset ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conor the basher. Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Hit it in there meant to be tight some and meant to be very very very tight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Slapping the top bearing onto the steerer with the palm of your hand should be enough to fit most of them. If it won't fit have a look for burrs on the fork steerer or the headset cone and file or sand them flat before trying again. Hammering it risks doing damage to your fork/headset, especially if Aluminium parts are involved... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_Fel Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 (edited) if you've cut your forks with a pipe cutter then it might have flared. Edited February 21, 2008 by Anal_Teflon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
