Ugo51 Retro Guru Jun 20, 2019 #1 Hi guys, I can see how a split crown race might be easier to install. As I need a lower crown race though, do you suggest to go for a full one? Thanks

W was8v Senior Retro Guru Jun 20, 2019 #2 They are easier to install and remove. Only for cartridge style headsets, not older loose / caged bearing. You need one to match your headset though. If it is cartridge and not split you can cut it.

Ugo51 Retro Guru Jun 20, 2019 #4 Re: All the crown races I find on eBay seem to be for sealed cartridge bearings. Is there some specific keyword to look for crown race compatible with 1-1/8 steerer with loose bearings?
