Hi everyone,
could anyone help me to identify what type of headset i have please. Its off a Kona Cindercone 2009, the spec just says 'TH'. Its got FSA markings but what type is it, and how do i adjust it?
(See pics below)
The reason i need to know is i want to see if theres any play in it;
When i hold my front brake and move the bike back and forth i got a slight knocking. Im not sure if this is from the pads in my calipers though? I cant visably see any movement at all but would like to rule it out before any damage occurs.
can anyone advice me on what other checks i can make?
Thanks for any advice!

Park Tools website has a guide on how to adjust threadless headsets. Pretty straightforward!

Nothing has been touched in this are since i bought it, so if its been assembled wrong then its been like that all along.... which part do you think is wrong?
I have been out tonight and re checked for play and im pretty sure its coming from the pads, but what your saying now has me concerned!
it is just that on many headsets the cover (with the letters) is above the centring wedge.
but also it is not always.
