Ok just thought i would share this infomation as it maybe useful to some without a setter.
I have just been struggling to get a crown race onto my marzocchi 55r and after the best part of an hour with an adjustable spanner and nylon hammer i got the thing on only to find it was bent in the middle, luckily enough i have a few spares floating round.
I decided to have a mooch around the house for something to use as a setter, i was just about to give it up as a bad job when an idea came through...Maglite...30 seconds later and it was stripped down and being used to send the crown race to its new home.
5 minutes later and the job was finished all that was left to do was rebuild my Maglite
(no maglites was hurt in anyway during the process)
My Maglite is a 6D but im sure that a 4D or 5D would do the job just as well.
Cheers,
Neil.

If you cant race it, and you can't take it to bed, what is the point?
