Follow-up: installation was uneventful, the thing that was unusual was installing the crown race. I found a scrap piece of 1" oak board, and cut a hole in it just bigger than the steerer. I figured that the wood was hard enough to transmit force but not hard enough to damage the race. I put the board over my vise, then put the steerer and race upside-down in the hole. I used a soft board in the fork to tap the fork onto the race. The race appears to be seated correctly, and the headset is working great. Is there any risk in the approach?
