    Daft question but have you put the bearings in?
    If you havnt they would sit too low among other things.

    The problem was that I didn't have all the bearings holders

    Yes, I'm having trouble getting the bearing thingy out of the frame to put in my new frame, its the thing that goes onto the frame where the forks go for the bearings, sorry i dont know the name, bt this is hard to get out.

    I heated it up and I finally got it out. I put the it into the new frame and it works fine.
