After wasting the best part of today’s sunny afternoon in the garage, instead of out riding, I have to admit defeat and ask for help.
I’m fitting Magura 1 1/8th forks to a bike with a tapered headtube using a Hope adapter 1.5 steerer converter. I’ve done plenty of headsets before with no problems but I can’t seem to eliminate play in the forks. I’m guessing I’ve either done something stupid in the set up or I’ve missed a component out.
The set up is:
Magura fork 11/8th – Hope lower steerer crown converter- Hope 1.5 crown race – bearings – lowercup.
Top cup – bearing – compresison ring – 2 shims – topcap outer seal – top cap into Hed doctor in steerer.
Whatever I do I’m still getting a lot of play in the forks. Everything tightened correctly/
Any help appreciated….even a beer in it if you’re local and your advice sorts it. 🙂
