The crown race fit is absurdly tight! I gave up with my homemade tools, which have worked in the past with any other headset i have installed.. I've already had one mechanic look at it, and he wouldn't dare to install it either. He advised me to get a headset with a split ring ;) Both fork and Crown race are made for 40mm, but its true that the crown race seems a bit smaller in diameter. I'm pretty confident that it will fit, with the right tools. Been chatting with a bike shop in copenhagen who seems up for the challenge
Gonna swing by tomorrow, and i will throw an update in here to let you know how it turns out :)
