About this deal

A rider wishing a more upright position opts for a longer steerer, filling the gap between stem and headset with one or more spacers. Place a small flat-bladed screwdriver between the crown and the race and turn it gently by about 1/16 of a circle (about 20 degrees). Repeat this all the way around, making the full circle in 8 to 10 “pokes”.

Also, do the whole round. Rotating the fork by 1/8 of the circle. Work slowly and gently, without much force so the steerer tube doesn’t get cut, or damaged. After crown race has been pulled, loosen plunger assemblies and remove the CRP-1 and the crown race from the fork. We researched other brands and found that they were appalling quality straight out of the box and often more expensive too. Unthread and remove threaded race. Hold fork to prevent it falling to the ground. Note orientation of bearing retainer (if any). Put the fork on a wooden plank/surface, so it doesn’t get scratched or damaged. An old towel can be added beneath – just in case.Finance is subject to application, financial circumstances and borrowing history.

Removing and installing threaded headsets requires specialist tools. Successful removal and installation depends on using them correctly.

If possible, disconnect cables shift and brake levers. Loosen stem and remove bars and stem from steering column. The bike is a Christmas present and so will not see any use for about 5 weeks as we are in November now. When replacing the headset (i.e. fork, or steerer bearings), removing the fork crown race (fork cone) can be problematic. Especially if the fork crown is wider than the race, so it can’t be punched off from the bottom. This post will explain the short and simple procedure and note the needed tools. If your frame takes an external cup to house the bearing, this will be the next headset component in line from the floor to ceiling. The lower bearing either rests in this cup, or in an identically shaped piece of the frame.Removing then replacing an older threaded headset—notably a caged or loose bearing model—with a more modern sealed bearing design is a great way to begin an old bike restoration. These two gentlemen could not be any more accommodating if they tried, quality service that is a rare find in today’s crazy world, I can not recommend this company enough! If there is, you can install a 1” threadless headset to replace the threaded headset. HOW TO REMOVE A THREADED HEADSET Use a hammer at end of RT-1 and drive cup from head tube. Use care as cup approaches end of tube, as tool may fall to ground on last blow of the hammer. The exception to this rule is for threaded headsets that use sealed bearings which are much less sensitive to the amount of torque applied to the top race. CAN I USE A THREADED FORK WITH A THREADLESS HEADSET?

Tighten handles of both plunger assemblies evenly until blades begin to wedge under the crown race. Threads of plunger assemblies should be approximately equal relative to outer shell. Continue to tighten the handles of the plunger assemblies until the edges of the blades are snug under crown race. Do not over tighten. With that core job out of the way we’d then install a spruced-up crank, toe-clip pedals, a new bar and classic shifters. Place upper headset cup on top of head tube. Hold one cup guide onto top threaded press plate and lower assembly through top headset cup. A bike stem is not inserted into the steerer but slides onto the steerer. Tightening the stem bolts secures the stem to the steerer.Remove fork crown race from fork. Use the Park Tool CRP-2. For specific use of CRP-2 see Crown Race Removal. The fork steerer is 1 inch in diameter. Steerer length is specific to the size of the bike into which it is installed. HOW DOES A THREADED HEADSET WORK? If play is present, repeat steps “6” and “7” above until play disappears. Adjustment is finished when there is no play in any position as the fork rotates.
