Is this an integrated fork crown race?

Does this fork look like it hav an integrated crown race?

I thought the part labelled 1 was the fork race but it won't go over the part marked by the red arrow.

The bearing won't go over the part marked by the yellow arrow.

Also, what order do the parts go in as a few of them I have no idea. 5 is a split collett, 3 is a plastic washer, 4 is an aluminium washer.

Thanks.

'5' looks like the crown race to me.

FWIW I'd guess at the following component order, from the bottom up:
5, 2 or 6, 2 or 6, 1, 4, 3, 7.

"The bearing won't go over the part marked by the yellow arrow. "
That doesn't sound right though!

5 is the crown race, to me.

1 goes at the top of the headset

if the bearing won't go over the yellow arrow then it's a problem... :shock:

have you tried both bearings? Are the bearings the right size....?

my guess would be:

[lower parts] - 5,2

[top parts] - 6,1,4,7

and depending on what it looks like in the flesh, I think 3 is a lower dust seal between 5 and 2.

Cheers for that

And the winning number were:

5,3,2 (lower) and 6,1,4, 7

When I initially tried to the bearing I wasn't hitting it very hard just in case I had the part order wrong (which I did). Not sure what part number 4 adds/ does but it fitted.

(It's an Alpina hidden headset, Dedacciai Black Rain forks and a Dolan frame).

Thanks again for your help- much appreciated

Now I just have to work out why when I rotate the back wheel there is between 2mm and 0mm clearance between the tyre and the frame where the brake hole is... :?

big tyre?

It's a Specialized Roubaix 700 x 23/25c and is 25mm "high" from the rim of the wheel.

I've nothing to compare it to so don't know if it's a big tyre?
