My wife busted her crown race on her 2004 Ellsworth Truth- we’d like to keep it around fo guests to ride, but converting to disc is $$$ when the brakes & wheel get factored in.

What do ya have cheap?

Thanks!

The crown race is technically part of the headset, no? Can't you have a shop jimmy it off the fork crown and just replace the headset?

Probably. Unless the fork was damaged by riding it broken..or loose. But yeah, if it's just the bearing race, pound it off and hammer a new one on...

Unfortunately she bent the crown & steerer & the ‘angle’ is now about 80+ degrees......

As usual, cost of shipping.

The SL was on a Voodoo Dejab. I still have the bike, just with a different fork. I don't know where the Judy came from, maybe a yard sale. It's a 'long travel' :roflmao:

The both are 1 1/8" diameter steer tubes. Lengths as shown. Both seem smooth and serviceable.
