Afternoon all,
I hope everyone is ready for my birthday tomorrow!!!
Anyway, I bought a Shimano 600 Arabesque headset to my Gazelle A-Frame last week. I had originally planned a 600 headset but it is 'too new looking' - the frame is 1975 ish. When i fitted the headset i found that it was indexed or brinelled. As a few of you will know, i need glasses and i failed to notice the pits in the crown race when i fitted the headset. when i removed the forks and used my friends glasses they were very plain - I could count at least 10 pits in the race.
I want to use this headset and I want to know if i could use another crown race with the remaining bits? The race itself would not be seen below the lower head race.
Is my plan flawed?
Thanks,
Richard
