head stock bearings lc 250

[davey]

hi guys,
a little tip here i found last week when fitting the new steering taper bearings to my bike , the top was fairly easy but the bottom was slighly harder. What i did was put the bearing run in the freezer for half an hour then positioned it in the frame a couple of light taps to position it then i used the old bearing run as a protecter to drift the new one home into it position as it is exactly the right size and it saves damaging the new surface .
im sure some of you guys knew this but thought i would post it anyway.

but slipped in nice.
