Headset problem, Need Help.

[Chase Marsh.]

Alright so earlier today, I traded my friend my scorchers for his SenioRs and the thing is, he had baby scs and i had standard. I had to give him my headset spacers and i thought everything was okay. I had the heaset as loose as it could go and my headset will hardly spin? Any ideas on what it could be and how to fix it?

Thanks,

hmmm. Well did you remember to change out the part of the headset that hammers onto the fork?

The crown race could be your problem

 

[Chase Marsh.]

Well we didn't tread crown race. He thought it would work. I think that's the problem. Thanks guys. Aye what's the easiest way to get a crown race off and on?

you can take a wrench that fits below it, and then hammer on that so that it will distribute the force more equally on it. They usually aren't too hard to get off. I usually just hit mine once with a rubber mallet and they fall right off just fine.

to put it on, get an old headtube or pipe that will fir around the forktube and hammer it on. when it gets down pretty low take a flathead and hammer it using the flathead on the edge of the crown race WHERE THE BEARINGS DON"T RUN. taking it off all you need to do is get a flathead underneath it and pound it off

Thank you guys for the help. I am excited to finally fix it. Hope your guys' solutions work!
