So it happened that the fork I bought is a tad bit too short.
I didn't care too much since this is one inch Alpina fork which is really hard to find. I painted and installed it anyway. But considering my heavy ass and lightweight stem made in china I thought it would be a great idea to sort this out. I've tried to look for lower stack headsets without any luck and decided to remove the top bearing cover and it gave perfect stack height.
I noticed a gap and decided to 3d print a cover that fits in between the red expansion ring and bearing itself.
Also, it is way lighter than a chunky aluminum one.
