Mine is two rides old but looks 5 years old. No shiny shiny hear but big smiles to ride. Front end bulge doesn’t look quite so bulbous without the paint don’t you think. Now with upy downy post too. happy days.
Just warm the frame with a hair drier. Run your thumb along the middle of say the down tube stretching slightly, Then once the centre is stuck, go back and with both thumbs work the sides of the strip down from the centre out.Obviously try not to touch the sticky side as finger prints show up on gloss paint. Leave a longer end than you need so you can hold it then trim back and make sure the surface is grease or polish free. It can be a very satisfying experience or a very frustrating one depending on how adept at delicate jobs you are. Enjoy ?
Will let you have it without the star nut as I’d like it as a spare and it’s no use to you any way, for £28 then. It will cost £4 to post. You need more than the crown race as your lower cup is a reducer is it not. You will need the 1.5 lower cup no mater what.
More info required. What headset? What frame ?If it’s a reducer headset it won’t fit the lower part of the fork as that part fits a 1.5 headset. The upper headset needs to be a reducer if your frame has a 1.5 non tapered head tube. Most crown races are headset specific.
The other night I thought I heard a train coming from miles away. I turned the telly off to listen as it got louder and louder. The table and light fittings were shaking and the dog was cowering in the corner. I ran out side in fear that an intercity was due to arrive at platform The Swede. Phew, just the Tollah peddaling up to see me on his rims. Poor bugger is completely tyreless. Join the “drive to Leeds to get don rubbered” march. Bring your own bombers although club bombers will be available, rebound and compression can not be guaranteed.
Put my fist through the clocking in machine in a rage. Que of workers behind me loved it as they got to finish work early and through my mobile straight through the plaster board wall in the office. Oops not mention knocking my best mates (at the time) front teeth out in a jealous rage. Punched a passing car once just because it was in my way and going to slowly not to mention numerous court appearances for rolling around in pubs. Ah the good old days. No no that’s bad and I will never do it again your honour.
It has M6 and M5 female threads either end so multiple changeable heads is also an option. Bog brush one end, washing up brush or tooth brush the other. Dragons den here I come.
Three bolts are obviously going to provide more security than two but a dab of loctite seams to also do the job, but seriously, WTF difference is a top cap and sfn going to make to your race. And I do mean your race, not mine.
Tazzys back. Hello bud. Recovered ? So two of you think ass, one thinks cocktail stirrer 😯 and tazzy thinks fire arm. Hhmm, methinks I’m dealing with some violent homosexuals here.
why do you need a top? (forgot that – another 25g)
To preload the headset. What if the stem / headset worked loose out on the trail. No SFN or top cap. Doh.
I’ve reduced from 100 to 80 on my ventana 29er. Climbs better but the rider position feels s bit racey on steep descents. Think I will reverse the process for for the gnar.
