The pipe to be pressed down by the lock nut will need to be a fairly exact length. So one would need to make the pipe anew for every bike they do this job on. The amount of force to press the crown race on can be more than what the steerer/lock nut threads are made to handle. Shock does a better job at this job than mere pressure will do and can be faster to attain. What will one do if the fork is threadless? Andy
