Is it possible to swap the fork myself without having the LBS to do it?

The only issue I can see is how do I cut the steerer tube?

Measure twice, use a hacksaw, and some hose clamps will help you cut it straight.

Dremel works well too. I used a pipe cutter for mine.

+1 on the pipe cutter. Also, the crown race is probably the hardest part- be careful not to bend/warp it.

Properly removing and installing the crown race is much trickier than cutting the steerer. After that, you'll need to reinstall the headset, brake, stem and flux capacitor. I would do some reading to make sure all of those things are within your grasp before starting the project.

And recalibrate to 44mph.

Are any of you guys near Manhattan?

Definitely use a pipe cutter for the steer tube. I use one of these:



It will give you a clean and *even* cut.

For removing the crown race, there are special tools for it, but I use a flat head screwdriver and I tap around it gently and patiently. Just take your time with it and go around it evenly. It will eventually come loose. For installing the star nut, I use one of these:



There are better star nut tools out there, but that one works just fine and it's not too expensive.
