So im fitting my 1 & 1/8 headset and the dust cover/ top mount is not fitting flush, which is rideable but bugging me to hell. plus if i leave it like this the bearings wont last long.
i think that the issue is that the compression ring that sits on the top bearing is too high but it wont physically go down any further. i think i need a lower profile compression ring. second opinion?
these normally come integral to the headsets anyone know where i can find one?
Did you get to the bottom of the problem with this?
Was the crown race set correctly? It all looks off-kilter

Formatting Help
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:
```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
