Hi guys.
Im a fairly noob to the bike world and i have a project on the go.
I have a 07 Kona Stinky frame,90% rebuilt with new,good gear.
My final issue is i have bought some brand new Rockshox domain dual crowns as an upgrade from the marz.
Does any body know,or are familiar with either of these as the headset doesnt seem to matchup,bearing etc
but steerer etc is all the same as the marz.it all goes together but there is no where on the bottom of steerer for the bearings to run as on the marz.ill try upload some pics. any advise is appreciated.

    You need to take the crown race off the old forks and install it on the new set. The crown race fits snug onto against the crown.

    See Park Tools website for a how to.

    No.....

    The crown race is snug on the base of the steerer tube, most forks will have slots on the crown, use a screwdriver in that slot and under the crown race and tap it in with a hammer and slowly work it off, it can sometimes need some quite hard blows from the hammer to get it moving but as long as the screwdriver is in at the right angle it won't cause any damage.
