Hi Guys,

I need some help here, I bought a n2a frame and fork from planet x which includes a fsa integrated headset, when it came to installing the crown race that was fine but now that the lower bearing is sitting on it there's a gap and it sits on the angular part of the crown race not the flat bit, (see photos) when the fork is placed into the frame it looks neat and the fork turns okay so what gives? any help would be appreciated

    Don't worry. They're angular bearings - they're meant to sit on the angled surfaces.

    when you torque down the headset it will press it in a little. As above it will be fine.

    Thanks guys, had to be sure yes the bearings are angular I was mostly worried that dirt and debris could get inbetween, but looking at it torqued down that would be pretty much impossible
