sr fork hitting head tube

[mbillick1993]

my 110mm sr fork is hitting my razor pro head tube whats should i do?

 

[mcdonald93]

how is it hitting?

 

[Hep Greg]

you're not riding a pro headtube... if its hitting you're riding an Old A headtube. you gotta file the fork down where it hits.

 

[Jake ODonnell]

1. unscrew the plate off on behind your foldy mech.
2. make sure you have your crown race on

yea thats what i did
i still have no idea though why im using an olda headtube

 

[Steezeman]

Cause old A headtubes are better than pro ones, that's why.

 

[Matt]

why do you say they are better, because they are more vertical?

No, because old A headtubes were manufactured a lot better back in the day then all the crap they are pumping out of China now. They are the only headtubes (that and B models) that allow your headset to press in fully and straight so they spin like they are supposed too.

If you know for a fact that it is a Razor Pro headtube then you either haven't removed the plate holding the folding rails together and locked your folding mech OR you didn't put the crown race on.

Also, there is no such thing as a 100mm SR fork. 110mm & 125mm... but that doesn't effect this issues anyways.

[Lil Steve]

Take the plate off or file down your fork.

Get a new headtube

 

[Steezeman]

Don't get a new headtube.

And cause I'm Alex Steadman, not Alex Steadmen.

If you don't know what that piece is and you didn't take that off the bottom of your old fork and put it on the new one then that is your problem.

 

[razorfanatik54]

uh, i though that the foldy rails will eventually bend inwards if u take off the plate? at least thats what my dad told me.

 

[Tylerr.]

um well most people take it off

 

[the_SD_local]

How can they bend inwards if the neck is sandwiched between them? The plate has to come off to use SR forks and to lock your folding mech as tight as possible.

ok i fixes it it was the crown raise
