if u need to know how to put a fsa headset on they come with instructions and the star looking think that comes with the compression system just gets pushed firmly up into where the bottom of the t tube is around and then u put your scooter together noprmally just with the front wheel off and tighten your headset from the bottom of the fork using whatever head the long bolt is that connects from the bottom of the fork into the stem tube

 

[briflip]

so i can pay money for guys at the bikeshop to put it together for me

 

[Jordan Jasa]

[briflip]

[blanket687]

[farmboy uk]

give andrew a chance!

 

[Jordan Jasa]

He's really super busy like all the time, esp. with trying to make the forks fit old a's, but now they are discontinued, so his load may be lightened a little.

 

[blanket687]

i just emailed him and he said that the last batch of old A scooters just got shipped. So it's all good.

 

[briflip]

why werent they made without the defect

 

[farmboy uk]

it isn't a defect, its just that they need to be grinded down

 

[Malcolm]

DOes anyone knoww if the FSA PIGS bottom cups go all the way in? Because theres like this teeny weeny bit that i can hammer in and its onto the extent that my arms are getting tired from hammering so hard..

 

[blanket687]

the same thing happened to me on the top and bootom cup. I think there is a groove that once the cup hits, it wont go in any further.

 

[Malcolm]

EDIT I figured that out now how do I put the race on the fork?

yeah i know that happened to mine too, and no it doesnt go in all the way, just get as far as you can and leave it, it still works fine. so dont try getting it in all the way or else youll wreck the cup. or if you do want it in all the way then you have to take the cup out and file the inside of the headtube

 

[farmboy uk]

i always file mine first

 

[Scooter Mcgee]

this happened to that scooters guy
