A bearing is a bearing? How many bearing companies in japan? Say the big4 contract with one bearing company and say they need this bearing as in an ounce is an ounce and a taper with cup is a match to match. I go to NAPA and buy an aftermarket bearing for the front wheel and am I not receiving the same measurements via a different brand cereal maker is the same oats is oats from the same acre, right?
The only downside of keeping that used bearing is the divot is now half a divot it wants to drop into. There is correcting the bars out the divot is one and now the other hard kind of steering is fuck the drop, if not just to check the race sent home in the cup. If it rides up before the stop... Get it? That's drop to me: no drag up the race.
I want to do one of 2 things and that depends on design of the fork and how it stops or slides.
1. The stopped fork in the upper crown/stem/upper-upper is that 1/2 of the triple tree. No matter how I look at it, I pinch the upper forks to the top crown, I keep the triple tree pinch bolts loose. I now bring my bearing up from the bottom is tighten the center nut so this brings the lower triple crown up and you lose the gap.
2. This is where the forks can slide up and down and have no top stop, sans what the factory says to set the gap at for clip on bars added anshit. So who gives a shit who's pinchers are loose. All you need is both forks pinched at the bottom or top crowns, take your pick, then set the center nut at the stem.
And I'm going to look the fool is I assume you have all the bolts pinched and you are now struggling to bend the top crown down on the... See that movement is where I assume you are at. Are all forks at their pinch stations tight? And how can you drop the one crown onto the other if both are now bolted and where is your fork drop?
Fork Drop? Get the bearing so packed with grease and now fore and aft is take the bang out of the bearings... period. Do not load the taper. Bang is eliminated and now there is your clearance is no bang, no drag, no constant corrections when tight... See it?
Unless I am 100% turned around on two ways a fork sets in the upper crown is you tell me?
And then the deal with the front axle is if it does not line up and you can blow it out of the other leg is adjust one leg up or down to achieve a sliding 90 to 180 degrees of squared that fucker right up! See all of it yet?
