how do i put the small ring thing on that fits onto the base of the forks, the one that the bearings sit on, i tried to hammer it on but it just cracked???
-
your knackered then. you need a new one, and unfortunately ive just thrown one away. if it is one inch fork size, you can use a set of nu skool forks, slip the steerer tube over the old skool ones and tap away. i have had to lightly file away to get em on in the past, specially if it has been powdered.

anyone got a couple of spares???

i bought a diamond back 1" threaded headset for a fiver from halfords the other week
it was very much the "last chicken in the shop" though.
and it looked like it had been opened then subsequently repackaged by a mental patient.
dont expect halfords to be running this kind of obsolete kit in any abundance.
