Crown Race Setting Tool, 3PCS Bike Fork Crown Race Setting Tool, Bicycle Fork Nut Setting Installer, Bicycle Repairing Front Fork Setter Kit 28.6mm

Having used this only once, on a 1 1/8" headset, I'm very pleased. The parts that touch the crown race are nicely machined and finished; the slide tube is a bit rougher, but it does not have to be precise. The tube seems to be heavy enough to be used as a slide hammer, but I just smacked it with a mallet and it worked well.A previous reviewer seems to have been a bit confused about how to use the tool. For 1 1/8 headsets (straight steerer) you just use the single driver piece and the slide tube, as shown in the first photo. For 1 1/2" headsets, you put the two driver pieces together ( they only fit one way, and are held together by an o-ring) and the slide tube, as shown in the second photo. Note that the size markings on the driver pieces read right side up when you're using the tool correctly.

Worked as expected. Installed the crown race from Cane Creek on my Rockshok forks!

Pretty nice tool. Works as should just feels cheap

Arrived as expected and set the crown race in a matter of seconds. I would consider it a pretty self explanatory item and is plenty sturdy enough to last many years of use. For the price paid it was a purchase worth making. Would recommend it to someone I wanted to keep as a friend...or just loan them the one I have.

MUST HAVE IF YOU WANT TO PROPERLY INSTALL A HEADSET CROWN RACE ON YOUR BIKE.

Overall this tool is effective at what it's intended to accomplish.The Blue anodized two piece system supports installation of both common size races.Not sure what the silver finish is on the "driver" portion of the tool but it did flake/leave debris on the striking interface of the blue cup.If the driver was 2" longer this would be 5-stars for the price.

seems OK but no instructions of any sort.
