My Iodine C headset is done. Quite the surprise it took a lot of beating for unbelievable 6 years.
I hammered out the cups which is quite a hassle itself because of the super thin cup walls and installed a new headset. All set and ready. Wait, there is another piece, the tiny little bastard of a crown race sitting on my 36. And this little piece of metal gave me something to think about.
How the hell is this going to be removed? See these pics https://goo.gl/photos/HiWAtUfou5idZ6Rk8
There is no groove in the CSU you could use the pry it loose. And the race itself is so damn small too.
The only idea that came to my mind would be using a Dremel or the like and cut or grind it down until it is loose enough to be removed. Of course the crowns fit is very tight and was even a pita to install...
Any ideas ?
