I forgot the photo shot and time dwindled by in between dissamble and re assemble
So I am left unsure of placement and orientation of the black "washer "
If it helps I cannot see it being a real snug fit at all anywhere on new bearings nor the old bearings or the fork
If it helps the steerer tube us 28.7mm
The crown race bonded sleeve is 29.7mm
The washer in question is 30.0mm and has a 45° internal chamber on the edge that has the widest OD
I have placed it on the crown race bonded sleeve just fir image purposes and that does seem where it has the best fit ( on the sleeve ) and also of it on the steerer in-between bottom bearing and bottom cup
Where the internal chamber will be on the left edge
Thanks all
