• Headset cups installed with homemade press. However I have issues with setting the crown race. Should’ve cleared the fork from rust. Should I lube the fork steerer tube?

    No real need, the only moving parts should be the bearings, running against their respective races/cones. A bit of grease to help prevent water ingress etc. never hurts though. If you're using an A-head stem some assembly paste or copperslip would probably be better where that clamps on to the steerer tube.
