Yeah it is. Next question, is it safe to ride? Was going to get down to my LBS first thing in the morning and get a new headset fitted. The only thing is the only one they have in stock is apparently shite, if I could get away with another few days of riding the bike as is I could wait for something nicer to arrive.

It would actually be safer if you binned the cover and set the spacer directly onto the compression ring, assuming it has a metal compression ring. You miss out on the dust protection, but at least your headset adjustment isn't going to change suddenly.

I'll do that, I guess if I'm getting a new headset in a few days anyway protecting from dust doesn't matter too much. Thanks for your help!
