Nice one druidh…

👿 👿 👿

PMSL!!!!

This has made my dull afternoon that much brighter.

anyone else noticed how apt Mackem's gravatar is?

Hmm… I was expecting you were going to say it had a crown… slightly disappointed…

what do you mean crown?

Why's he not started any other threads since this one? I suppose he's just waiting for the answer.

We're all waiting….

Does the Crown Estate have any say in this? What with all this debate, surely, if i were 'them', i would want to know what all this sh1t was about…Philip, please cuss me you bitch.

A 'stupid headset' may not include the crown race, but why do you want a stupid headset?

I think I saw a man in the car park at Inners last week who had one. He was hitting the steerer tube of his fork with a hammer and shouting 'Stupid Headset' very loudly. Sometimes he would shout 'Stupid &%$@ing Headset,' is that the same thing?
He looked a bit cross so I didn't go and ask him if his had a crown race.

Who's organising the 21st by the way?

Not me, my 21st was a disaster.

I got arrested on my 21st partly because the landlord thought I didn't look 18 and my mate pee'd in the sink in the ladies toilets with the door open…

Fantastic.

Traditionally, a mechanic would slam a tube down onto the bearing surface to “set” the race in place.

Does this work?

Usually takes a good initial shove, probably as described above, followed by placing a screwdriver against it and moving it around the race as one taps it gently with a mallet.

Timmy Mallet?

M C hammer ?

unless its a split race.

so how can I tell if my headset would come with;

a) no crown race
b) a split crown race
or
c) a standard crown race

?

d) a standard clown face

is this Mackem then?

i think Mackem has left the site now or changed his name!!!

is it too early in the life of this thread to start discussing the moral of the story?

Not sure, but a crown race over ➡ has been glued on…you could'nt make it up or could you?

yep a have a new race to fit. going to try that super glue remover from B&Q. what do you think.

One step ahead of you again Naok!

Really?

ahh….one minute.

Actually, he only says he has a new crown race ready to fit, he didn't specifically state that it came with the headset.

MADB, if you are reading this, did the crown race and headset come together or did you have o buy the new crown race seperately?

i thought you said clown race.

I reckon this is post 38 of this page, not long to go before it can legally

vote
buy porn

Is there anything you actually can do at 21 any more?
