I have a spare CK upper cup which i plan to use upside down as a lower cup but am lacking a spare C.K. crown race, so can i bodge it by using a Cane Creek crown race intended for 36'/45' bearings???

Campagnolo Standard: 45/45.
Cane Creek Standard: 36/45.
FSA Standard: 36/36.

SO WHAT STANDARD ARE C.K.?

cheers

This is a case for Inspector Kersae!!

It looks suspiciously like a 45 degress chamfer on the inner race-it is quite shallow tho.The bearings are proprietary tho I think.There are FAR more different headset bearing sizes then that!!!

i found this on a JEJames google search

" The Chris King headset has been considered a benchmark of quality for …. tube ID 6.9mm depth Sealed cartridge bearings 70g 36°/36° degree bearing angles. … "

but no info when i click on the link, so its lookin like i canne do it???

or 36 degree!!!

VV LOL @ Dylan

They are proprietry and the angle of bearing contact is not nec the same as the angle at the crown race.

why not just buy a chriss king one then you know its right only £8.00

cos i'm tinkering in the garage now and bodging is satisfying
