Crown Race Question

The Big Cheese

If I am fitting ridgid forks to a bike, do I still need to have a crown race fitted - sorry if this is a really dumb question

Yes of course! The crown race is part of the headset, doesn't matter if it is suspension or not.

Thanks a lot - so in theory I could prize the existing crown race off of my crappy dirtjam comps and attach it to the new DMR rigid forks? If not, can I buy the crown race separately?

Thanks

Yeah as long as its not damaged in any way. You can get crown races from an LBS if needs be or probably www.chainreactioncycles.com .

The crown race is headset specific, not fork specific.

If you are using your existing headset with new forks, you WILL NEED to take the old one off your existing forks.

the crown race has to match your headset. get it swapped over.
