the only difference here is the integrated crown race on the salsa fork.
I suspect that's your problem, and that the integrated crown race in the fork is designed to be used with standard IS52/40 headset bearing or a cup using a standard IS52/40 bearing rather than the proprietary bearings in CK headsets.

Question: CK Inset 7 and Salsa Waxwing Deluxe fork don’t seem to want to play nicely together (big gap above the fork crown in photograph) - have I totally missed the mark on compatibility?
For a bike I’m having built with a straight 44mm headtube. I have the same headtube, headset and tapered forks (from two different brands) on two other bikes and they fit fine, the only difference here is the integrated crown race on the salsa fork.
