I have a Surly Cross Check frame with fork.<br /><br />The sealed bearing actually fits well on the form without the crown race. If I apply the split crown race, it becomes too large to fit in the bearing.<br /><br />Any thought or help?Paul L.

If we could presell 300 JIS sealed bearing headsets we might think about stocking it.

But really, the 1" threadless set was sort of a transitional item, so maybe it wouldn't be worth the effort to make and stock 'em. Having typed that, I wonder now if it is true. <BR/><BR/>Does filing out the threads work?

There is no need to have to force it on the steer tube since it is not a bearing race. Any headset that uses cartridge bearings (commonly referred to as "sealed" bearings) can make use of the feature. I have wondered why they don't all use it.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, that is quite an achievement, Chris!

I would think that would let in dirt, allow some movement between race and bearings that would accelerate wear. <BR/>Other than that, thumbs up!<BR/><BR/>MarkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
