grrrrrr. wtf why are my threaded sr's wobbling

[zack]

yeah, uhm my sr threaded forks are wobbling inside of my headset. and it didnt do this with the stock forks. wtf. and please dont just be like, oh you should of bought threadless because my friend has them and he has an fsa pig headset and his wobbles. o and i have a cane creek headset.

 

[zack]

also. i heard something about tightening a starnut? how dod i do this?

 

[danielwarwick]

A starnut is only for threadless headsets. Did you tighten down the the two nuts a lot? Did you switch the race (even though that will just slow it down, not cause it to wobble ).
I would say to take off your bars, check that your bearings are in there, and then tighten down those 2 nuts as much as you can.

 

[zack]

i did that and my bars would spin. poop..

 

[Eric Magray]

um, you need to find the balance between too tight and tight enough.

and dont get pissed off at sr forks, its you that doesnt know how to work it.

 

[chrisisme]

the topbolt must be loose. ANd you might have forgotten the damn crown race. i hate it.

yep... i dont ever have that problem with my threadless forks no wobbles and spins beautifully.. but when i had threadless with a fsa pig and compression system it either wobbled like hell but spun nicely or was nice and tight and would not spin at all...

 

[lloyd]

is the pinch ring in?

 

[AJ]

if everything is tight and it still wobbles... you might have broke it... i did that... my reinforcement was the only thing keeping it together...

R.I.P. SR FORK :'[

[zack]

[zack]

can anyone help?

 

[Meep94]

crown race is the very bottom one this picture is just on a bike fork, but its the smae thing

that is the crown race don't mind the question mark

and this is where it goes

 

[Max]

where do you get a race?

 

[Meep94]

hmm.. either you old stock fork, just take a hammer and a screw driver and hammer it off or.. maybe a bike shop?

 

[fashow69]

you have to get one from your stock razor fork max or if you buy a headset it will usually come with one im currently using the race that came with my old fsa pig on my threaded fork atm.
