Hi,

Bit of help really...

I've got a Chris King headset that I have removed the top bearing cap from. I don't know how I've done it but the green o-ring has come loose and I cannot for the life of me find a way to pop it back in.

Anyone got any tips on how to do this?

Cheers all.

Is it the GripLock type?
Then you can [url= http://ck-wordpress-media.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/NoThreadSet.pdf ]take it apart and reassemble[/url]:

The GripLock is shipped pre-assembled. If it has been disassembled, fit assembly together as shown in diagram. Follow the procedure below.
1.Place thin bearing ring O-ring into outer groove of bearing ring.
2.Place split ring into bearing ring.
3.Snap the bearing ring and split ring into the GripLock cap.
4.Feed cap O-ring into the groove created by the assembled parts.

Thanks for this. Im assuming its the grip lock as I believe the newer ck headsets these days are. I did get it in but it was hard work pushing the cap back on the carbon steerer (even after lubricating the o-ring with water)

I'll give it a go!

Cheers
