Okay Mad Honk and Macguyver909 !

Packages are in the mail!




I took the ol' PXN-10 mainly to impress people (sorry Le Grande! Reference post #645)

Impressed no one She's a fabulous old girl - from the same year as the Le Grande. But Peugeot, Shmeugeot! You ain't gonna have nothin' on the Le Grande in it's final form!


In other news, I thought I'd quickly try to grab the Campy SR crown race to measure and see how it fit on the Le Grande fork steerer tube base, just in case I might need to throw it in one of the aforementioned packages.

However, turns out its a bit loose -





Gosh man that thing is heavy!!! Maybe the Le Grande crown race weighs less

In any case, I'm thinking through how to best deal with this, and any thoughts from the village are appreciated. I could potentially do something like epoxy, only coat the ID and base of the crown race so it is not fully bonded to the steerer tube in case we gotta get it off one day (only to replace with a lighter component of course), or I've thought about wrapping with a soda can shim, or a combo of both. Let me know if you all have any thoughts on this. I want it still centered, so the soda can idea, in my mind, has more merit, than gluing things up without having a centering reference.


Also, starting to work on these shims...





Oh yeah, and to get an accurate trace of the clamp, I had to bend it nearly closed, and TOTALLY put those little micro-cracks in the chrome on the first bout...lol
