FSA DL crown race. No one seems to be able to find it. Any help?
So my IRO frame came with a Orbit DL headset. My original fork had a crack in it, so I sent tony my old fork and Tony sent me a replacement. The problem is I need a crown race now. My LBS tried sourcing the part in there catalog but all the catalog shows is the DL headset for ordering. It dosen't list any crown race available for the headset. I tried contacting FSA but no reply from email, and I tried contacting Tony at IRO but haven't got a reply back either.
A website called "MTNbikes.net" has it, but the want damn near double the price for S&H and the website seems a little sketchy to me. If I have to I'll get it from them. But I can't believe there is no other way to source this product.

Your cog is slipping.
IRO is closed for a while so you probably won't be hearing from Tony. If it's the standard 1 1/8" version, I'm pretty sure a lot of FSA (and other) headsets use that same race and it isn't specific to the Orbit DL. Your LBS should either have or be able to get something that works.
Why didn't you remove the crown race before sending the fork back? Didn't you think you'd need it when the new one arrives?
Also - ask in mechanics. Someone may know for sure.

Also no clue why I didn't remove it. Probably just laziness. Look where laziness got me now. Whomp whomp whomp
