If you can get the custom made tall crown race that might be best solution. But I'd also check that the odd drilling angle didn't compromise the strength of the fork crown. |

I think i may have this one sorted. I got an old 105 headset (without bearings) with a lot to parts I bought and decided to take a look. It has a 27.0 race, so it wont work, but I noticed the bottom race is set up about 2mm above the crown and the bottom cup is about 3mm smaller in diameter. Both of which should be a better fit. I found a 105 headset with the proper 26.4 race in Canada and ordered it.
Also, I found that 1 1/4 pvc pipe makes a perfect freehub spacer on a campy hub.

Yes, the bolt angle is less than ideal. Give me 20 minutes with this in my shop and all would be well. |

I don't know if it's an optical delusion, but not only does the brake hole appear to be drilled crooked, it also looks like the crown race was cut crooked. And they did have their way while milling the crown.

Also, from the pic, looks like it was drilled on an angle(up)..

yep but i think that's what it's for, you can slacken head tube angle and increase trail. big with mtb'ers who can all sorts of different length forks but want to keep HTA/trail relatively constantly. there's a german company that makes a similar spacer and some kind of angled "negative" spacer to decrease HTA.
