Bit of play in the forks...

simon johnson

I've just re-assembled my bike after a complete strip down, but I've noticed that there's now a bit of movement in the forks, all the bits and pieces went back correctly, I can't tell what the problem is, any suggestions?

Thanks,

Simon.

Yep, it's the crown race- just won't go on.

Did you remove the crown race? Unless you've got a proper fitting tool, it's difficult to set it firmly and level - best pop down to your LBS and get them to use the right tool - unless you've got a long length of pipe the right diameter?
