    Mostly yes. Will need to add spacers. But why and why that one?

    Thanks for your reply .
    I am at present trying to fit some manatu forks into a cape wrath frame ,the frame came with a headset in situe, but the forks don't have any Crown race bearing washer? on them.
    After searching further I think I may have three options
    1) replace the headset which will come with crown bearing
    2) take it to my LBS and have a new headset and forks fitted (any idea of price ?)
    or
    3) find and buy seperately a crown race bearing

    any suggestions welcome
    Regards Paul

    Forks don't come with a crown race, it's specific to the headset - what's on the frame at the moment?

    The crown race will be sitting on the old forks that came off the bike. No need to buy a new headset, just get the race off the old one.

    Thank you for you're replies
    Had a word with the tech at the LBS and he will have a look and advice as to wether he can use the existing headset or if I require a new one, and then assemble the forks. labour cost a tenner plus parts" supplied by me if i wish" sounnd a fair price to me?
    p.s he as a good rep
