Recommended Posts

Hi all, any idea where I can buy the following shim?

Its for a tapered fork using a Deda Headset.

I just need the shim. Without it I cannot put my bike together .

Its the little aluminum bit

you mean the crown race? that is usually sold with the headset. But your fork has one bonded in place so why do you need another one?

is it not bonded  and too big?

I brought in 2x bikes, one bike came with crown race. the other - they forgot.

the picture is of the bike they remembered on.

the other bike is missing the race.

 

so trying to find that locally so build the 2nd bike up

What’s the headset spec's and fork steerer diameter. Looks like a straight 1&1/8 or is it 1.5?

frame manual should have some details on the specs. Key thing is to buy the lower bearing and crown race together so the inside race taper matches
