I've seen a similarly tall stack crown race on an old Tricross. You'll know when you pull it off?
If you didn't notice the bottom of the headtube sitting a bit high it probably needs to be that tall. -
Is this a special crown race that I haven't come across before
I vote for this.
Don’t Speshs of that era have some really fucking wierd headset.
-
Look at the inside of the head tube and see if it matches?
-
It'll be the inner race of a cartridge bearing that has got seized onto the crownrace and the bearing has come apart. When you're really lucky the other half gets seized into the frame and you can spend ages trying to remove that too.
-
The cartridge bearing has disintegrated and that's one half of the bearing which is resting on the crown race. Should come off pretty easy with a Stanley knife (wear safety goggles).
The other half is in the bottom of the head tube. This could be a tough nut to crack.
Fingers crossed both comes out easy!

Replacing the headset on my mates Spesh Langster circa 2012 model.
Is this a special crown race that I haven't come across before or is that a second one that someone has whacked over the top of the first?
