^ erm, sometimes you make a mistake* and they lierally fall out. in this case I had to hold the bike upside down to make it drop ;-)
tightening the top cap bolt to adjust the headset I found out - well tardy - that the converter around the 1" steerer tube (thick, alloy, starnut bent quite a bit to get where it was, tightly) wasn't actually pushing the top headset ring down properly, just touching the fork tube top
argh. gotta get a new starnut in the morning and try again by daylight!
