My habit with new frames is to chase and face the BB shell, and ream the head tube and fork crown to ensure that everything is properly square. Bottom bracket shell and head tube were no problem, I removed the BB and knocked out the headset cups However, the Appaloosa fork crown is fatter fore and aft than a normal 1" fork crown, and my crown race remover (the Campagnolo model) doesn't fit past the crown to engage the crown race. In fact, the crown race on the Duron X headset barely protrudes past the crown - even if I managed to get it off with a punch, I think it would get damaged because I'd have to be bashing on the thinnest outermost part of the race.
Has anyone managed to get one of these off successfully. Nick p.s. And BTW, the BB shell did need chasing and facing to be properly square, and ditto for the head tube. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
