Has anyone bought a new hope 1/18 headset recently? What sort of packing do they come in?
I bought one today and its in a plastic pot type thing, which on its own didn't seem to weird, but I think some of the parts are missing haivng looked at the diagram. And that got me thinking, doesn't most hope stuff come in little black and green cardboard boxes? it'd be conclusive that something was wrong if I know its on the wrong packing, if not maybe I'm going mad....

it does seem to be missing a top loacting wedge and it should have come with a hed doc.
(unless they are doing a cheap version with out hed doc)."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

i see. cheers for your help nick, i was thinking it might be missing a crown race too? or am i confused, which is possible. very possible.- Kona Hot '96 - Marin Rift Zone '09 - Cannondale Synapse Carbon '06 - Kona Caldera '98 - Kona AA '94 - Dawes Kickback II - Cannondale BadBoy '11 - Genesis iOiD SS -0

well i remember when i got my new type i was glad to see they had now added a split lower race.
And the upper is also a split race as the black top cover has a flat inner face that would press on the top race and the 3 washers are used to shim the top plate for correct fitment to the top cup.
so one race (split) missing."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
