Integrated headsets - am switching out the fork on my giant TCX (1 1/8 to 1 1/4 taper, because I fucking love obsolete standards)
Removed the old fork, thinking that I would remove the crown race from that, slap it on the new fork and off we go (i.e. what I've done every time I've ever changed a fork in my life). But, lol, no crown race on the old fork. So now I don't know what the fuck I'm doing. Have tapered forks just done away with crown races?
Have tapered forks just done away with crown races?
Some have, some haven't.
Presumably your new fork has a flat crown race seat and you don't have a crown race because the old fork didn't use one?
New headset time
