Hi Guys (and gals),
I'm currently stripping my bike for spray, and just remembered about the ring on the fork (is this called the crown race? I have this in my head, but dunno..)
How the fk do I get it off? Its well lodged on for sure. I want to keep it as its a Campag headset and I've got the rest off pretty smoothly.
Its pretty late and I live in a flat, so have gently (with a hammer) tried getting a knife blade in between the ring and the fork, but its too tight it seems (chunky knife maybe...)
I'll give it some more juice in the morning, with a thinner knife. Try get it off in little bits. Anyway, anyone know of a better way, that is less likely to leave it all scratched up?
Hmmm...
R.
