Installing the forks
In the box where I got the headset from there are some other parts.
On reading the instructions there is a bearing thing that goes on neck of the fork.
It won't go all the way down on it's own, you need a bit of pipe, a little larger diameter than the neck of the fork so it fits over it, that you will hit with a hammer, and something so that the bearing thing doesn't go squiffy through being hit off angle.
What with a few other parts I can now put the forks on the frame.
Doesn't look quite right does it, and there are some parts left over. Think I'll put them on too. Looks much better now.
Time for another beer.
