right come off my runner in the rani today and twised the forks but luckly iv got a next set of forks but im havin trouble gettin the old forks off is there a tool to remove the bearings from near the handle bars ? thanks
what seems to be your problem with them? worth bearing in mind that these screw together to clap mwaning youd need either a c spanner or a flat headscrewdriver and a hammer and tap them around until there loose enough to unscrew by hand
oh right i thought i needed a special tool or somthink. but it should work by puttin a screwdriver into the notch then useing a hammer ?
yep, top one off first.... on reassembely tighten the bottom bolt to the correct setting then wind the top nut into this to lock it in place (dont forget the washer between or it unwinds as you ride) needs to be tight against eachother but not too tight on the stem itself..
cheers minor i love your replys always straight to the point and always spot on info thanks mate :cheers:
right on mounting the forks and putting my renthals on it seems my handle bar clamp doesnt sit right and rocks from side to side how have others put there renthal on ?
you have the wrong clamp. steel bmx headstock, can drill a securing bolt/weld a nut in the forks if you wish but the 2 bolts alone hold it pritty fookin snug.
think the one i have is a stage 6 or str8 so u recon if i get just a normal bmx clamp it should fit nice think iv got one lyin around somwer
right got a bmx stem and put it on had a bit of trouble fitting them but there on now but now i have another problem the forks iv got feel weird when i turn, the handling feels shitttee i turn and it feels harder to turn then it all of a sudden feels lighter an turns all the way getting pisssddd now
are you using a clamp that makes the bars sit more forward than the stem?? if you are this will affect youre turning, better off using a straight stem.
from the sound of it the fork STEM on your new forks is bent... this will naturally make tight/loose spots. make sure the bearings are all intact and the bearing races are nice an clean, whip em back off and have a GOOD look/hold a spirit level/straight edge to the stem of the forks.. if they are fucked you can pull the stantions off and sling them on your other fork stem.
right guys brought 2 stems now boths shitt ones from halfords and ones stage 6. but i think iv found the right one now .... http://www.allterraincycles.co.uk/product/111256.html what you recon ?
i recon go get yourselfg a ruler and MESSURe your forks... or just plain take them down the shop wiht you... theres only one steel one halforsds sell. its STOCK bmx size.,.. cnat say simpleler.. mountain bike ones are smaller and youve bought a few of them now. that or your fork stem is just fucked an no longer round...
