  Thanks for that.

  Assuming I passed on the headset (as it hasn't been fitted to the frame yet) would it be possible to buy a new headset that would fit rather than have the fork machined?

• Fork to 1" Headset Problem

  in Mechanics & Fixin' • 14 years, 8 months

  

  I have bought a new fork for a bike I'm building and I'm probably being a bit of a thicko but I'm having a few problems.
  It's an old frame with a 30mm ID head tube where the headset fits.
  I have a threadless headset for the 1" steerer.
  However, the fork is one of these:

  At the bottom where the crown race fits, it's too big. The steerer tube itself has a diameter is 25.7mm
  This step to the machined surface is 26.0mm
  Then the crown race surface steps up again to 27.0mm.

  The headset and crown race fit to the 26.0mm surface but not to the 27.0mm, The 27.0mm surface is 7mm high.

  Obviously, either the fork is the wrong one or I've got the wrong headset, but I can't tell which from looking into it.
  Can anyone help?

  Looking for a decent condition ahead fork with a long 1" steerer. I'll pay up
  to £50 posted if it's a good one as I found a new carbon version at £60 but every penny counts!
  Ta for looking.

  Sorry, looks like I can't PM yet. Would you be prepared to ship the CXP30's if they haven't already gone.
  I'm also looking for some cranks/bb if you have any in your tonnes of other stuff.
