fork crown race not snug

(1/2) > >>

Jim:
ok so I replaced my copy landing gear with some stamped landing gear. the fork crown popped off the old forks with a wee bit of force but when I put it on the new forks its not a snug fit. I slipped the bearings on and rebuilt and it seems fine no wobbles? anyone has a similar issue or advice it would be gratefully received..... "help"

Sid1972:
Often happens. Cut down a coke can and wrap a couple of centimeters round the base of the forks and tap the crown back on.

Jim:
I'll probably cut myself to ribbons but shall try cheers sid  :daumenhoch:

Munnyella:
If it fits ok, with no wobbles then you have no issues, if it slips a bit, do the can thing. I used to find that cheaper headsets were always a bit easier to fit the crown race on, but harder to get the cups in.

yer there is a chance that the ring will just spin round the fork tube and dig in and cut it  :shocked:
