  • TheBrick(Tommy) Yep if all else fails take it to a shop that has one of these.

    That's a neat tool.

    dt yep, there definitely are size differences.

    Try cleaning/filling around the bit the crown race mounts on. if no joy then take it to a bike shop to cut the fork crown to the right size - cavendish can do it

    I did some light fettling, removed some excess braze and a little steel. I was trying to get enough of a chamfer on the fork to get it started but there seems to be too much difference. I tried an old heavy rusted headset I had, this slid on with the greatest of ease.

    I think I'll have to try another headset.
    Thanks.
