I love pounding my head with a ball-peen hammer, because it feels so good when I stop.Originally Posted by alfeng

Don't give up, yet ...

FWIW. Presuming that the SECOND picture which shows a properly installed headset "race" ... at least, one in-the-process of being properly installed ...urge2kill said:I installed the crown race with the bevel up. The beveled side of the bearing race is too wide to fit inside. The headtube bevels are too deep anyway. Even if the bearing race could drop in, it would be too deep to reach the edge of the headtube. My Cane Creek 40 integrated bearing race.Someone else's Cane Creek 40 integrated bearing race.
The frameset came with a different headset, but I already installed this crown race and I don't want to go pounding on the fork again.
- THEN, with the understanding that I NEITHER have your frameset NOR the headset which you are struggling with ... I believe that you have installed the wrong "race" on the fork ... and, the one in the picture is the one that is supposed to be on the fork's shoulder, and [color=ff0000]vice versa!!!![/color]
Keep fighting the good fight until we get the post that the OP faceplanted and lost teeth and jaw function for a few months. Bad thing then is that we'll be his only source of communication (via keyboard) so we'll likely get questions like - should I use epoxy or superglue to bond my forks back together and how do I modify my lower bearing race to take into account all the glue spooge/dried mess?Originally Posted by alfeng
