Ash-Kennard Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 get some grease on there. find a pole slide it over the steerer tube and place on the crown race. then use the persuasion tool and on it goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TROYston Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Grease the lip, push it on, not a 100% on trialtech forks but some forks have the crown race built onto the steerer. It shouldn't be stupidly tight though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trialsiain Posted June 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 does it matter if its like half a mm off the bottom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Not massively. You'll probably find that after riding for a little your headset will feel loose once its seated fully. Undo your stem bolts and nip up your topcap bolt a little when it does become a tad wobbly and alls good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
