Hey Everyone,
Thought i'd be clever and pick up a new fork for my cross bike off the Wiggle ebay page.
Thought i'd got myself a bargain however realised the fork as an integrated crown race that has a different bearing angle to the bearings in the headset.
Currently the bearing angle of the fork is 36 and the bearings 45.
Can I make this work by just replacing the headset bearings?
Is this a terrible idea that will affect handling of the bike etc?
This really melts my mind trying to work it out so if anyone can point me in the direction of an alternative bearing that would work i'd be grateful.
For reference the frame is a Terra X and this is the bearings that fit the frame.
