I am having one heck of a time with this. I have a Reynolds Ouzo Pro 1" full-carbon fork and a chris
king 1" threadless head set. Cups are pressed into the frame no problem-o, I have the crown race
"driven home" on the fork. I then install the fork into the frame and you're supposed to slide the
upper part of the headset (top bearing cap) on the carbon fork. There's a little rubber o-ring on
the chris king part. It just won't slide down unless I use something other than my hands. If I
remove the o-ring, the part will slide over the steer with some effort, but I can do it by hand.
I've tried using soap (afraid of petroleum products) to help it along, but she won't go.
Do I need the rubber o-ring? Any tips on getting the o-ring on there without marring the top
bearing cap?
I'm using this as a guide. They say I need to keep the o-ring.
