I need some help, do i install the very last piece on the bottom bearing set by pressing it all the way into the small race on the striker or does it just sit on it? A very good way to help would just be by taking a picture of your scooter if you have a striker and any cane creek headset. Thanks, and i need this quick if you can.

Thanks i got that figured out, now my next problem, i have ics and i tightened my compression bolt all the way and everything was tight, i rode the scooter for 20 minutes and the headset was wobbling like crazy, i figured it had to be the compression bolt, but for some reason the bolt was still super tight, so why is my headset wobbling?

Thought : my upper and lower bearing cups are not perfectly flush with my phoenix head-tube, should they be and how do i get them that way? Because i couldnt get them any farther in for the life of me. There is a 1/20th of an inch space between the head-tube and bearing cups.

Woot, idk how this fixed it, but i hammered the bolt down a little, and hammered the bars down a little, and then tightened it all back up, and rode it for 30 min. Its still tight! Hope this lasts.

Ideally you want the crown race to be completely pressed flush on the forks seat.

Yup and you can simply do that by pushing ur bars down to the bottom of you for and lean/push down and it should go down nicely aslong as ur bars don't get stuck an u can push ur fork past the slit.

Yeah well i fixed that part, the bearing cups are in all the way and the piece is on the crown race. Hoping the fix for the wobbling stays good.

1. turn the pro fork upside down in a vice if you have a vice
2. take a flathead screw driver put it on the crown race which will be upside down due to the fork being upside down
3. take a hammer and pound the screwdriver into the crown race until it breaks the seal...

wait arent crown races threaded? if they are, then DONT do what i said.
