Umm, the Park twins are worthy of page 19, shame they did not make page 3 😯

Did someone answer naokfreek's question on Page one?

"What's a crown race?"

This is what I believe it is: Part of a headset.

732 .. wonder whats on page 20?

This thread has comprehensively[url=

jumped the shark[/url]

Is there gonna be a prize for the 1000th post? - perhaps we should get Manwells to advertise his bikes here to speed the process up 😀

Will the prize be a crown race?

Will the prize be a crown race?

We don't even know if there's going to be a prize yet.

maybe the prize is a headset... 😀

What's a headset again?

Ask Google

A [b]headset[/b] is a headphone combined with a microphone. Headsets provide the equivalent functionality of a telephone handset with hands-free operation. They are used in call centers and by people in telephone-intensive jobs. ...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headset_(telephone/computer)

[b]Headset[/b] was an American alternative rock band based in California, USA.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headset_(Don_Knotts_Overdrive)

Or perhaps

The [b]headset[/b] is the set of components on a bicycle which provide a rotatable interface between the bicycle fork and the bicycle frame itself. The short tube through which the steerer of the fork passes is called the head tube. ...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headset_(bicycle_part)

Most curious....

Damn missed

A device that contains the same technology as a [b]handset[/b] but is worn on the head to keep the hands free.

Much better definition as this could make handlebars attached to your helmet into a [b]headset[/b]

Wikipedia doesn't mention a crown race, I note......

oh bu88er

If youd started at 20 we'd be on page 20 by now?

maybe now?

EDIT: **** **** ****

Nine to go.

Do you have to buy a headset to get a crown race?

TJ, you're right, I went off too early 😳

I'm over it now though.

No, really I am.

Honest to god*

*not that I believe in such an out-dated concept

Its a bit like bidding on ebay, evryone's lurking...or not

(3 more by my reckoning)

I

need?

Nice one druidh...

PMSL!!!!

This has made my dull afternoon that much brighter.

anyone else noticed how apt Mackem's gravatar is?

Hmm... I was expecting you were going to say it had a crown... slightly disappointed...

what do you mean crown?

Why's he not started any other threads since this one? I suppose he's just waiting for the answer.

We're all waiting....

Does the Crown Estate have any say in this? What with all this debate, surely, if i were 'them', i would want to know what all this sh1t was about...Philip, please cuss me you bitch.

A 'stupid headset' may not include the crown race, but why do you want a stupid headset?

Posted 1 month ago # Report-Post

I think I saw a man in the car park at Inners last week who had one. He was hitting the steerer tube of his fork with a hammer and shouting 'Stupid Headset' very loudly. Sometimes he would shout 'Stupid &%$@ing Headset,' is that the same thing?
He looked a bit cross so I didn't go and ask him if his had a crown race.

Who's organising the 21st by the way?

Not me, my 21st was a disaster.

I got arrested on my 21st partly because the landlord thought I didn't look 18 and my mate pee'd in the sink in the ladies toilets with the door open...

Fantastic.

Traditionally, a mechanic would slam a tube down onto the bearing surface to “set” the race in place.

Does this work?

Usually takes a good initial shove, probably as described above, followed by placing a screwdriver against it and moving it around the race as one taps it gently with a mallet.

Timmy Mallet?

M C hammer ?

unless its a split race.

so how can I tell if my headset would come with;

a) no crown race
b) a split crown race
or
c) a standard crown race

?

d) a standard clown face

is this Mackem then?

i think Mackem has left the site now or changed his name!!!

is it too early in the life of this thread to start discussing the moral of the story?

Not sure, but a crown race over ➡ has been glued on...you could'nt make it up or could you?

MADB - Member

yep a have a new race to fit. going to try that super glue remover from B&Q. what do you think.

One step ahead of you again Naok!

Really?

ahh....one minute.

Actually, he only says he has a new crown race ready to fit, he didn't specifically state that it came with the headset.

MADB, if you are reading this, did the crown race and headset come together or did you have o buy the new crown race seperately?

i thought you said clown race.

I reckon this is post 38 of this page, not long to go before it can legally
