Now the weather is getting better and The Boy a bit taller, time for him to get on his Zaskar.
But, the headset is really wobbly.
It’s a modernish OnZa Mongo III 1.125” aheadset. Nice bearings and the cups fitted well into the Zaskar headtube. But, the (pretty chunky) crown race sits very loosely on the steerer (Pace RC36 with a 1.125” steerer). Way too loose to be shimmed with a Coke can.
Anyone else fitted a Mongo III?
My on,y thoughts are that the Mongo ‘crown’ race (that butts up against the cartridge roller bearings) is actually supposed to sit on a regular crown race. OTOH, the bottom of the OnZa crown race is machined at 90deg. I would have thought curved would have mated up better with a regular B.B. crown race.
Anyway, I’m stumped!
