• I've noticed some play in the headset of a bike I've just put together and can't place it with certainty. The play is in the lower part, i.e the bottom bearing area and doesn't go away with increased load from the top nut.

    There doesn't appear to be a race on the fork - is there always one or is there a direct mount type system?

    the bearing itself feels smooth but maybe has a minor amount of play (less than I can feel when the fork is in place, however) - is this normal?

    Should I purchase new bearings, a race, or will I need a whole new headset?

  • It came with the f+f so not totally sure, but looks like a match yeah.

    So, crown race and something else?

    Edit: the upper cap is rounded unlike that one so probably this
