Onza Mongo Crown Race/fork Trouble

[old'scoolfool]

The Onza Mongo headset crown race is stupid huge and the forks get stuck about 10mm from the crown where the steerer gets a little wider at the bottom, is there another crown race that will fit or am i shit outta luck and need new forks, i've tried fatty's and urban's gets stuck at the same place

Either:

- Use a crown race setting tool (big tube that you can slide down over the steerer to hit the crown race on equally)

- Use some grease

- Cut through the crown race so it's split, will then go on easier (still works fine, in fact better than standard IMO)

I always split crown races now, it's so much easier. You can slide them on with your hands.

Maybe - if you can find a massive seat post.
