Yes - grumpy no more. I'm off before Manwells finds this and proves conclusively that I have no life.
I'm not playing any more. 😥
i am
andrewh - if there's no play in your headset - you must have got the right crown race.
MARC BOLAN??????
TJ - your standards, please!
What happened to the Swede and his table / crown race experiment? Did he combine the two and disappear into an unexpected black hole?
if there's no play in your headset - you must have got the right crown race.
Don't know, I just stuck on whichever one came with it, bit of luck they shoved one in the box with it!

And as the man from the Tap said "This one goes up to eleven"
how did he get on?
Very well so i hear...
Easy mistake to make. Its all in the hair

is that the guy from T Rex Mark Bolem was it?
The one at the top is. Did he have a crown race on his Trek?
Anyone know how long it would take Kaesae to remove a crown race?
I had hair like that "back in the day"
in the year 2525.....

Blimey, is this still going?
oh yeah.
back on the first page, phew that was close
Look! over there, an unpaid overdraft!
Look! over there, an unpaid overdraft!
I've got a Yeti-sized one.
Can't complain though, I've got a Yeti 😀
Also, got a nagging suspicion the bank manager may ask for it back
Oddly enough, I did have to specify a particular kind of crown-race when I ordered it, the headset I wanted didn't come with the crown-race I wanted.
As if by magic, back on-topic!
Can I contribute by saying that I've just got back from staring at young ladies' bare legs all night? Thanks.
Pictures?
Did they have headsets or not?
There may have been a gusset or twenty.
has the race for a new page begun again yet?
anyone?

Hmmm.
Seven hours since the last post. It appears you have all taken your eye off the ball and the next page will be mine! Sixth time lucky!
Alas non....perhaps this time the race will be crowned by Lord Headset of King
bugger......
Worth a try though.
Yeah, i thought so.
😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆
Next time.......always a next time. âž¡
But page 13 might be unlucky...?
Bugger..14?
I've got dibs on 14
So anyway, going back to the OP, I'm fairly sure they do in most cases.
but not all..
Some crown races come without headsets I believe.
did for me. Hope as I said
Did we work out a probability quotient of with / without? Is there any correlation with the manufacturer? Who won the Clown Race? There's plenty of mileage in this yet.
There's plenty of mileage in this yet.
Are Clown Races measured in miles? I thought it was klownometers...
Race to the crown??
what percentage, in weight, is the crown race of the complete headset?
Hmm, at a guess....8% av.

Smiles, surely?
This could explain the price of some headsets?

i didnt post in here yet.
just thought i'd add my two peneth to a worthy mileage extending cause and wondered how many anagrams there are in any amount of the words ....
MACKEM NEW HEADSET CROWN RACE
..one for starters..
race won when Mack made secret
Does anyone know if Mackem actually bought a headset and if it actually came with a crown race?
Just wondering.

Chris King call theirs a baseplate. Is this the American word for crown-race?
Anyway, 1 1/8 stainless is 14g and Ti is 8g. Complete 1 1/8 Nothreadset is 98g with standard steel baseplate, which makes the baseplate 7.29% of the weight of complete Nothreadset. Very good guess Nano! On mine I upgraded to the Ti Baseplate, saving 6g but making the baseplate 8.70% of the new complete headset. (NB. all weights above are manufacturer's claimed weights, I've not had mine completely out to weigh it, just apart to stick some grease in)
It may seem counter-intuative that the lighter one is a higher proportion of the weight of a complete headset, but then this is of course a higher proportion of a smaller number.
I use the words 'complete headset' above advisably, I have heard rumours somewhere that not all headsets come with crown-races/baseplates included.
The plot thickens.......
Very good guess Nano!
Naok darling, Naok 😉

Does Boris know? There'll be merry hell I grant thee.

Any news yet on this? The lack of input is quite poor.
I found this all the way down on page 3. Surely this hasn't grown old yet???
And again on page 2!
We must be getting close to unlucky 13 by now surely?
Dips toe in water......
.......eases in up to ankle......
Perhaps...
.....no way.
