Crown race replacement
Hiya folks,
I'm about to replace my headset and there's one item I'm not sure about: 'hammering' the crown race into place.
I've read Sheldon Brown and he says put a pipe over the steerer and tap on it.
Other people say put a pipe (PVC, mild steel etc) over the steerer and bang the pipe against the ground.
My question is: why don't people just use a short length of pipe (about 6") and tighted down the locknut against it ?
