I'm trying to fit a Reynolds Ouzo Pro integrated fork into a Specialized E5
frame, using a Ritchey Zero Pro integrated HS. The frame & headset are 44mm
bearing diameter, so that works...my problem is down at the crown race.
Ritchey uses a split ring as a crown race, which seems odd. The fork has a
nice 30.0mm OD aluminum sleeve there, which the bearing fits on perfectly.
When I put the crown race in there, there seems like there's too much space
between the edge of the head tube and the edge of the fork crown (>1mm), but
if I try it with no crown race the head tube rubs just a bit on the fork
crown, plus there's no 45' surface for the bearing to sit on.
Do I have the wrong crown race? If so, where can I get a crown race that'll
work in this situation?
