NoValidTitle Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 So I finally got my echo urban forks in the mail. I got the bottom bearing race on fine, slid the fork up through the frame but when put the top cap on and tap it down it will only go so far and won't snug up to the headset. Like if I pick up the frame so the weight comes off of the fork I can see it move, also just grabbing the steerer tube and moving it I can feel a little wobble. Now I've never owned a King headset but this just doesn't seem normal, any tips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 It sounds as though the steerer is too long on the forks, causing the top cap to bottom out before the headset is tightIdeally you want the steerer to end about 3-5mm below the top of your stem to leave room to tighten things upTry adding in an extra spacer and tightening it up - if it works then it'll more than likely be that, if not then we'll have to look for another explanation!

Skoze Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Exactly what Luke said.I had that problem with mine, and couldn't see what the funk was wrong with it, until i saw that the top-cap wasn't even touching the stem :$Hopefully some spacers'll sort it!Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
