🚲 BIKEHAND 3-in-1 Fork Crown Race Setting Tool - Easy Installation for 1.5", 1-1/8", and 1" Bicycle Forks Review

I bought this to mount a crown on a 1.5" tapered carbon fork. Slide the race, put on the tool, tap it with a hammer and the race is set. Worth the money without having to improvise and damage the fork.

I'm a former professional bike mechanic with 20 years experience and needed a Crown racing tool ASAP. I didn't want to spend money on a Park instrument so this was my best bet. This thing is so awesome that no hammer is needed as you have enough grip to hammer it in place. I have used this on a Cane Creek 110 and Fox 36 fork.

Does what it is supposed to do but scratches the steering column. in the bike shop they use fittings that conform to the corona racing form, this one clearly doesn't have fittings like this. It will also scratch the bearing race if you are not careful. While it technically works, I'm not sure I'll be changing headset bearings more often.

I've tried enough assembly options, from a direct hit as instructed to a hammer on the edges of this tube, to be sure it will work to a tight enough…

I've been building and restoring bikes as a hobby for years and have always installed fork crowns indiscriminately with pipe cutters or automotive tools. For my latest build I decided to invest in the right tuning tool and bought this tool. This tool is versatile in the sense that it works with three common bike fork sizes. It seems well made, well designed and works like a charm for me. I would say the value for money makes this product great and I expect to use it in the future. The tool was…

I recently bought a new 130mm travel fork for my XC/Trail bike. Unfortunately, there was no running mother or star mother. This is the first time I've had to install a new race and I know a lot of people use a piece of PVC pipe or similar, but I've also heard and seen a lot of races destroyed or damaged using these methods. I figured a racing tool would be a great addition to my bike tool box so I could get the job done right. I looked around and the prices ranged from ridiculous to "how good…
