there's a gap between the fork crown and HT, anyone know why?
Because if there wasn't a gap you wouldn't be able to steer. After that, we're just talking aesthetics and tolerances. There's a fair bit of variation in the depth of the bearing seats on integrated head tubes, headsets are made to work with the worst example of a too-deep bearing seat cut.
Yesterday I installed a new headset and fork on a frame. All the bits should match but there's a gap between the fork crown and HT, anyone know why?
