I bought some cheapo rigid forks, and asked my LBS to fit the crown race (Cane Creek 40 EC30). They tried (perhaps rather too spiritedly) and my crown race is now looking distinctly misshapen.
They tell me that the crown OD is 0.5mm too big for the race (26.9 vs 26.4).
Questions:
1. What's the best way to reduce the OD of the steerer crown?
2. If this isn't feasible, is there a crown race that's compatible with a cane creek 40 which would fit?

asked my LBS

They might be local, but I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole if they don't measure before attempting the press, since any halfway competent bicycle mechanic should be aware of the fact that ISO and JIS are different. The bare minimum they should do at this point is mill the fork to ISO and supply a new crown race.
