By leaning into the corner and putting my left foot down.
Left you say ? Are you certain ? What if it's a right hander ? Are you insane ? With no crown race ? With your reputation ?

Any conclusive proof about the [b]need[/b] for a crown race yet?
Posted : 17/02/2010 9:55 pm
I once bought a crown race (nice Hope one it was) and it didn't include a headset.

Extra large crown race action on ch5...needs a service and some food.

Was that a left or right handed crown race

Or even backhanded.
Is a crown race how they decide the next monarch?

Decorative jewellery perhaps?
The Swede - how is the experiment progressing? Any early results yet?

Early indications are leaning towards there being no headset or crown race on the kitchen table when I get home tonight. This is in my opinion no form of an answer to the not at all stupid and reoccuring question. Which came first. The head set or the crown race.

But their absence from the kitchen table doesn't prove they do not exist. The point here is whether they exist together or not. And whether a headset comes with a kitchen table (stripped pine or oak).

Well, my headset was in the post box. Not on the kitchen table as planed thus throwing to experiment all to cock. Any one could have slipped the crown race in there with out me knowing. This experiment is now null and void. The headset has however now been fitted to a bicycle frame and it seems to allow the forks / bars to turn with much less resistance than when the headset is fitted without the crown race. Does this mean anything? I don't know!

Steady there, Swede. We don't want to spill onto 4 pages now, do we?
Posted : 19/02/2010 10:48 am
Pardon?
Posted : 19/02/2010 12:10 pm
Certainly not.

I once sold one without a crown race. Sold it cheap obviously and it was a Hope one so easy to get a new one. I kept it to make it easy to swap between rigid and bouncy forks on the HT as that had another Hope headset in it.

HMmmmmmmm, cooking steak tonight, do i [i]need[/i] a crown race to turn my water into wine?....having said that, i think i'll do some theft round St James instead, must be a crown or two knocking about.........might get arrested and get some action at the cop shop though...not really sure.

How's the experiment going, Swede?
Posted : 19/02/2010 9:13 pm
Well, I have just had a nose around in my shed and I have spotted 6 headsets fitted to bicycles that I know for a fact have crown races underneath them but I have also seen three loose headsets kicking about in there but only two crown races!!! Did one come with out a crown race? Has one been lost or stolen? Could small animals or insects get in my shed and eat a crown race? This is getting so deep. I'm thinking of setting up surveillance cameras on each of the headsets.
Posted : 19/02/2010 9:32 pm
I have a headset with the wrong crown race. It works but i'm really worried that i'm going to die?
Posted : 19/02/2010 9:38 pm
I have a fork in the garage that has a crown race fitted to it.
But I have no idea what headset it came from.
Do I win a prize?
Posted : 19/02/2010 9:47 pm
Why can't they make a standard crown race anyway?
They they could design forks with them on already so you wouldn't have to chisel them off and chip your forks before flogging on here....
page 5 can't be far off now

Prizes? I didn't know there were prizes. Is there one for comming [s]last[/s] fourth equal?
CHLuke - dangerously close to getting sent off for talking sense there.

Good idea we could award a headset without crown race to the real fourth place finisher at SSEC.
