I'd like to see you ride that Si  :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:

As for the gap mate i guess it depends on the length of the steerer tube on yer forks - you could cut it  :shocked: :shocked: but have you definitely put all the parts of the headset on ? i.e. the bearing race on the forks before you inserted them into the headset tube and the locking washer with the little nobble in it before you put the locknut on ?

simonm:
yeh, Crown race is on. But the washer (you can see) is above the lock ring at the moment, thats still going to leave about 5mm of thread exposed. Is that normal ?

Not on any of me geese matey - all the lock nuts tighten right down - no tube thread showing. If you definitely have the bearing race on the forks then maybe the forks you've chosen just have a steerer tube thats too long for your headtube / headset arrangement - get your hacksaw out  :-X

simonm:
mmmm, will see what swivel says, frame and fork came together from him but I'm not sure if he ever had them together.

ta.

Swivel:
Si something don't look right here mate, are you sure all of the components of the headset went on? Never seen that where there is thread showing, looks like something is missing? Is the headset a cheapo from halfords or tange/tioga? In any case, it should all fit together nicely without any thread showing...  ???

Also from looking up closely there, looks like the cups could do with being wacked in a bit more also Si ;)

Speak soon!
