Revolver Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 1) I'm pretty sure those spacers come off with some encouragement 2) One option is to cut a neat slot in the crown race. I do this to all of mine since I got some echo forks, which have a really tight fit for crown races. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeVal Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 on point 2 you mean "cut through" or "just a slot"? i know what your getting at though as its only like a mm away from going right down. what about carefully filing away some if the inner edge of the crown race with a round file?

Revolver Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 (edited) Make one cut right the way through from the outside to the inside. It makes it 1000000000x easier to fit. This would be better than modifying the forks. It makes as good as no difference to the headset, and if it does, a headset, even the crown race alone, is much cheaper to replace than forks.

DeVal Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 (edited) yeah i get you. i think my old headset was cut like that! not a prob. ill have a go in a bit, cutting wont be a problem! edit - forks are done lovely now! thanks but those spacers on the bb seem to be part of the axle arrangment. I think its just my tool that is a bit thick on the inner radius so it wont clear them. ill pop around the local shops see if they have any i can borrow / buy 2mo.
