Headset (CK) question

I had my new CK headset installed when I had my frameswap done.
I noticed though that he had left the NEW stainless steel crown race (from the CK) in the bag with leftover odd's and sods.
I checked my rig and he has left the old cane creek race on.....
It seats OK and as he knows his stuff so I know he wouldn't leave it on otherwise..
However will it compromise the CK 10 year warranty and should I put my foot down and ask him to change it?
Or am I being pedantic?

Will get him to swap it over asap
It seems to be a task noone wants to undertake removing a crown race.... well in my bloody LBS anyway!

Nope Cane Creek hold the license on Aheadset systems if you don't pay the license you can not make Aheadsets. It is not saying that CC make them.

now it may have been resolved now but not heard anything.

The Pikes only have tiny recesses to leverage off the old one - even with a racepuller this could damage the paintwork on top of my forks (which he didn't want to do)
The Cane Creak one on there is exactly the same only without the chamfered edge.
He said he would change it if I REALLY wanted him to, but said as they are both stainless steel etc it wouldn't impact performance.
I said I would think about it - what do you think I should do? Risk losing some paint on the crown of my pikes? Or go with the Cane Creek that's on there and works?

Not sure they do - may supply bearings. CC did suspend the Aheadset licensce to FSA and TH.

I assume they are suing over the termination, unless this is a totally differnt case.
"Aheadsets actually say "Manufactured by TH Industries for Cane Creek" on them"
Now that you say that, I do recall seeing a few that way, but I am sure all arent.
