Hey All,
Sorry if this is a basic question, I'm still quite new to old bicycles, but I've been having trouble with this. I have a 1950 Monark (the Swedish Monark, not the American Monark) Aerosteel Bicycle, and am in the process of getting it into better shape. The original crown race had a fairly large divot, enough to resonate through the fork when turning, so I had planned to replace it. However, I haven't been able to find a replacement that fits, the original measuring ~25.7 millimeters on the inside.
I was recommended to try an EC30/25.4 headset, but alas the crown race still sat very loosely on the fork.
Is anyone familiar with this particular headset standard? Is this unique to Swedish bicycles?
Thanks.
