Today I had planned to switch the Judy SL forks in my Tazmon for a Marzocchi Bomber Atom 80.
I've bought this bike 3 weeks ago. The seller told me that a custom headset was mounted. Now it turns out to be a threaded headset with a conversion quill mounted in the steerer tube and a ahead stem mounted on that quill.
To mount the Marzocchi I have to replace the threaded headset for a threadless one.
But first I have to take out the forks. I've taken the lockring off but the fork won't come loose. I can move the top of the steerer tube but it hasn't got any noticeable play in the lower cup and turns flawlessly. I've allready tried a tap with the hammer but that doesn't help.
I'm running out of ideas.
Anyone here has any idea how to get it out?
Thanks very much in advance.
