LBS cracked my new one on install ![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
It probably is, as pretty much the only way to get the crown race is to buy the whole headset. Which at he moment are a lot of money.It’s not worth the fight tbh![]()
Why would you cut a ball bearing raceStrange. You haven't got a pic of the cracked race have you?
They could have cut it to fit it or used a split one instead. Without seeing it though that's just a guess, and like above, it would take some effort to crack one, possibly damaging the race surface as well.
I would definitely be talking to the shop about it though.
