Joe Aston Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 (edited) I brought some new forks today fitted them but i dont seem to be able to get them to stop moving forwards and backwards in the headset i fitted the crown race to the forks. Everything is tight there is just a large amount of movement seems to be in the bottom headset bearings the cup is not moving.Any help would be greatly thanked.

poopipe Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 it's probably either that you forgot to but the extra bottom race bit in or it just needs tightening again - it takes a bit of wiggling to bed everything in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Aston Posted April 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Bugger sounds like it must of fallen out when i was taking the old forks off and i ovously didn't notice. Bugger will have to ring work and tell them not to throw it away god i feel stupid i was in such a rush to get them on i must of missed it. Bugger. Thanks a lot mate.Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
