Hi;
Might be a little late…
I did my own retro bike build and had some problems with the headset.
The headset is a brand new NOS Race Face Real Seal and the frame is Ti. There were no visual damages on the head tube and a high quality pressing tool was used. We first pressed in the upper cup alone, than the lower cup (not both together). Still both cups have left a small gap (thickness of a sheet of paper). But that gap goes around the cups, it’s not just on one side and as said is on both cups. So in my imagination the headset can not be crooked… it might have a small angle…
What do you think? What was wrong with your headset that made the mech. guess it was krooked?
Thank you very much
Best Regards
Frank
