Crown Race on Scorcher

[Gamerpro]

I am hesitating to ride my scooter without the crown race in my scorcher fork. The bottom inch or so on the scorcher is a bit fatter than the rest of the fork tube and prevents me from having a crown race. Any suggestions as to what I can place there instead, I don't want any dust or water reaching inside the bearings.

 

[parrish]

are you fucking serious

 

[Gamerpro]

Yea, I asked it for a reason.

 

[parrish]

you need the crownrace
take it to a bikeshop theyll install it for you

 

[Gamerpro]

Alright, thanks for the info. I didn't know they made bigger size crown races.

 

[parrish]

they dont, the crownrace is supposed to fit really tight on the bottom of a fork, they have a special tool

 

[DJ Lee]

hahaha i lold also haha parrish ur sig... or whatever

 

[ConnorD]

omg this guy is such a fail. i would of lol'ed soo hard if he tried to get a refund from scooter zone

 

[Gamerpro]

No, I wouldn't try and get a refund from scooterzone. I would just have ridden the scooter without it.

 

[parrish]

and it doesent need to be on all the way, i rode with mine on but not all the way for a while when i was a n00b

Just bang it on yourself or bring it to a bike shop. I'm glad to see you're a mature rider unlike these idiots who are giving you a hard time.

Yes, you need the crown race to rock your new headset, and no it's not smart to ride without one.

And all forks have the fat part for the races.

 

[Gamerpro]

Thanks a lot Rob. I was just not used to the scorcher because I previously had a FrID Fork and the fork tube width was uniform throughout.

if you have a clamp, use that to hammer it on, or even better, an SCS, it works really well

Or go to bunnings, get a pipe that fits over the forktube but sits on the crown race, get the crown race straight. Then smash the shit out of the bottom of the pipe on the ground, thus pushing the crown race on your fork. Hope that helps

If you don't want to take it to a bike shop where they charge money to do it. You could Sand it down a little so you can put it in your self. I just use bars put them over the fork and hit them down onto the crown race it normally gets it in.
