Crown race installation

<< < (5/5)

HARORIDER:
i personally would't hit the bottom of the steerer tube as if the forks are powder coated you'll chip a nice chunk off  :-[

Peter J:
Like the copper tube idea  :4_17_5:

But as him above said  ::) make sure the powder is removed

Run a stanley knike around the edge where the race sits so you get a clean edge and then clean off the excess powder with a stanley blade and some wet and dry

or

cut a clean edge and just use the excess powder as a bit of a shim to make sure its a tight fit   :-\

animal:
I stick a tube over the steerer that longer . Then invert the forks and wack down on a piece of wood  ;) It helps 2 clean off any paint and rust from forks and inner of crown race, plus a dab of grease on the inside of the race  :daumenhoch:
