How do you repair a fork crown?

(1/3) > >>

Moose:
I have a set of forks that has a small piece missing from the fork crown (where the crown race fits). I haven't tried a crown race yet, but can you repair them? If so how or is it not worth it?

Bob_Acid:
Is it like a chunk missing or all around ? Will it mean the race is wobbling about Phil?  ???

thesku11s:
if the surface the crown race mounts to has a dent in it, I would just ride as normal as long as the crown race still fits. Wouldnt worry about it.

If its bad, I suppose you could eithet stick is straight in a lathe and machine the level to match the groove or braze in a filling and file it down, possibly also with some lathe at the end to make it tidy.

sawzall:
have you got a pic ???,but by the sounds of it you could build up area with a bit of weld and grind-file to shape ;)

Moose:
Right - off to get a picture  :daumenhoch:
