OK, all you master wrenches out there, here's a chance to prove your worth!
I'm trying to install a Look HSC4 SL fork on a 2002 DeRosa UD, which uses a Campy Hiddenset. The fork is somewhat odd, in that it is made with a built-in crown race, just like the new HSC5 SL fork. Apparently there's also a version of this fork without the built-in race... Problem is, no matter what we try, we cannot get this to install. The problem is that the bottom of the headtube still comes in contact with the top of the fork before the built in crown race comes in contact with the bearings. No one seems to have an idea as to what to do. The Look install instructions are useless.
Does anyone here know what to do? Is there a piece can be gotten to make this work? I can't believe that Look would make their new integrated forks and have them be unusable by non-Look bikes!
HI, You need a shim to go either between the inside of the head tube or between the race and bearing. This is actually more common than you would think.
I know FSA makes these shims. They're the same shape as the bearing and they do a great job. I think they're 0.5mm thick. Call them or your bike shop and I'm sure you'll be on your way. It's a simple solution. Jason
