Holy shit balls as they are not moving

Pop the seals off then heat them up. There's a tool to seat them that's similar to crown race driver, but a pipe that applies pressure to the inner race will do.

Off I go to find a pipe then... what do I heat it with?

...but I am dropping some stuff at a bicycle workshop on Saturday that's no good for me, maybe they have something to drive them home.

Also, FFS Cannondale. The first 3 inches go smoothly and then it's all out war :)

Heat the bearings in an oven. Not too hot, obvs, but enough to get them uncomfortable to touch.

If you can fit it in your freezer bag the fork up and chill it for an hour or two first, too.

Science!
