|   How do i know if i need a drop crown for my Monster T? | Christopher
May 19, 2003 5:15 PM | | I think i do but i am not sure. Basically, there are two lines at the upper end of the stanchion and my lower crown sits about 5mm below the lowest line and the stanchions are already too far in on the top crown (ie. the top caps are not flush with the upper crown). So, so i need a drop crown? How much lower does the drop crown extend? my headtube is 5" and i have a fsa pigdh headset if that helps. |

If you dont have enough stancion in the normal leg area (non stepped down smaller diameter between the crowns) to move the crown up more, then you need a drop crown.
Better yet, take a picture of it and post it here. |
