Headset fitting problem

<< < (2/4) > >>

HUTCHMAN:
if your going to go the dremmel route,i'd do the race not the forks or get it pressed on with a length of something like scaffold pole.

pickle:
Robbo, I had the same issue with my 91 haro forks, in the end I used the pole over the stearer tube.

Just make sure you support the steerer underneath rather than having the dropoutsd take the strain

Where did you get the pole from?

I've used a dremel before for fitting a headset, wasnt to proud of that method but it seemed to work.... ::)

stevochb:
get a large shifter and open it so that it rests ontop of the race then tap with hammer turn the forks 90 degrees then tap again keep doing that till its on. You might have to use a bit of force though.
