I can't imagine the insurance going up, since this means you stop *better*!

Not sure on the taper thing, though. I'd have to measure it.

the forks are now on

the upper bearing was the same diameter an tapped staight in the lower was slightly bigger there was a slight lip inside the frame that stopped the old cup going in too far this had to be die grinded ( not much maybe 1/4 of millimetre)

i also had to get the thread extended on steerer tube

pics to follow
