Space it out above the cut and will be the same a proper cut wouldnt it, Unless the top cup is not evenSeen poor cut steerers or star nut insertion not square inside tube
Thus uneven preload on bearings

never taken particular care installing them (wood and hammer)
Note to self: never buy anything second hand off either of these two idiots.I used a hammer and wood for a Crank brothers opium headset
Agreed - last time I had headset seizing as per this thread was that I changed the headset but not the crown race on the fork. The two had different angles so they did not gel together. Whenever I screw the top cap slightly it would seize.Its might be a crown race caused problem. Just check how close the upper crown of your forks has a lot of room to move around without rubbing on the lower HS cup
It's on a Kinesis XLT fork, brand new. I will recheck the star nut depth/straightness when I get a chance.What fork is this on and in what condition is the steerer/crown?, I've had issues with king headsets and a slightly bent steerer. The High accuracy of the king works against any missalignment issues here. I ended up using a different lower race, FSA Pig, uses massive 1/4 balls no more issues just a bit jipped i only run half my king.
Not if the star nut was installed with the Star nut special tool and the steerer was cut incorrectly.Space it out above the cut and will be the same a proper cut wouldnt it, Unless the top cup is not even
yeah mate, never had a headset f up on me; and be f ed if i would pay a shop to do what a piece of wood can do for free. believe it or not parts on a bike should be fairly strong, never stuffed a headset up with the trusty wood.Note to self: never buy anything second hand off either of these two idiots.
