Review on 🚲 Cane Creek 110 Alloy 1 1/8 41/30 Crown Race: Premium Quality Bike Part for Enhanced Performance by Alex Marshall

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Also used with an old S-3

Seems to fit and work perfectly with my S-3. Cane Creek may or may not agree, but they don't say so, and the only viable alternative seems to be the 40 Series Crown Race (which is probably the same in steel rather than alloy (don't want to)). I do not recommend reusing the old Crown Race S-3; The rubber seals will be damaged when removing the crown. Since the rubber seal needs to slide/rub against the bearing outer race, I recommend lubricating it with something like Buzzy's Slick Honey. A strange look under the headset; The blue seal expands so that there is only blue in the gap between the plug and the headset cup. Even if the gasket touches the cup, it doesn't matter. There is a comment on another review that incorrectly suggests that this doesn't work with the S-3; my counter-comment suggests that the comment is wrong; there was no answer.

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • Weight
