Synergy Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 can you get pictures of what youve set it up like please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomR Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 All the bearing cups etc on dead straight? Putting the bearings in the right way round? The race pressed onto the forks straight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willsey Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 i'v fitted 2 headsets in my Zona with no problems.. just by banging them in with a wooden mallet (softly) and the one thats in now is a cane creek.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Ward Posted October 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 the cups seem to be sitting straight and it wont just go in all snugthese are what ive managed to get it to fit the best but theyre still not right[attachmentid=7320][attachmentid=7321][attachmentid=7322]sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobnobs Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 I dont think you need the second black part, the bearings rest on the crown race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomR Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Middle pic, to the left of the bearings. Are you trying to put it in like that? It needs pressing onto the fork. Should tap on easily enough with a mallet and a bit of pipe or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials Punk Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Have you taken the old race off the forks?If not get a brass drift and hit it off. Then tap the new race onto the forks with a mallet, and a piece of rubber to cover the race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Are the bearings upside donw? Or is it me?I thought the bearings should always face down. Topside or Downside of the Toptube.Sorry if i'm wrong though. Can someone double check that for me. 99% right i'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt! Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 i would suggest, tightening your head set down and see if everything falls into place, try that if not then it could be the headset is put together incorrect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Nichols Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 (edited) i would suggest, tightening your head set down and see if everything falls into placeBad idea really, you might crush your bearings and that would be a pain.You haven't actually removed the old race and put the new one on.. That looks like the problem to me. Edited October 4, 2006 by nichols_sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
