Current Projects chat and miscellany

^ I had one that looked very similar to that (but in black) that failed in the same way... no idea where I got it though.

Just spent a happy evening trying (and failing) to hammer the crown race onto my fork. I know it's supposed to be an interference fit, but this seems a little interfering! Other than beating it with a hammer and pipe (which seems to get me nowhere) does anyone have any suggestions?

Maybe I'm just not hitting it hard enough?

There are two main sizes remember either 26.4 or 27....make sure you arent trying to hammer a 26.4 crown race over a 27 fork, it doesnt work....I tried for about 2 hours once, so i know :) I should add this is for threaded steerers...I am not sure about threadless, though presumably something similar applies....WWSBD???
