(1/2) > >>

brass monkey!:
any tips on getting one of the little round retainers that the lower ballrace sits on (forks/headset)? this one is tight and i don't want to damage the forks with a hammer and screwdriver, like i normally do....forks cost a lot you see  ;) :D

sorry for the hopeless explaination, hopefully someone will know what i mean... ::)

HEYWOOD BMX:
 :) The good old crownrace problem.If you have a tube/pipe or even an old 1 1/8 stem that fits over the steerer,then give slide the crownrace on & give the tube a good whack or 2...

brass monkey!:
no pipe of stem to hand right now..., good idea though  :)

RATTY:
Plonk it in a cup of boiling water for 5 minutes, the metal expands just enough for it to slip on. Use pliers so you dont burn yourself :daumenhoch:

QUADROPHENIA:


if its for a sitter matt just dremel the fook out of the race
