Yep in perfectly.It just looks like you have a thick gauged head tube. Did the headset cup sit in correctly?
It's a Zero Stack 44/56. So there is a cup that you insert then the bearing drops into that.is it an integrated headset or cup?..can't quite work out what is going on there, that does not look right!
Yeah mate that's all correct. and sadly I think it will be a paint pen.Looks like the headset is semi integrated, also known as zero stack to me.
This photo from the park website has the top cup highlighted in red.
As poodle pointed out, a large headtube will have an OD that’s bigger then the top integrated cups.
A black pen is your friend. Would shit me too, but at least your frame manufacturer has dressed the face after painting it.
maybe slightly. My Pivots are all Carbon though so I would assume it might be the other way round??? I got into Kim at Commencal and he said is normal. On my Pivots I’m using Pivit headsets so they match properly.Is the tuning thicker gauge than your pivot? Or other frames?
You should see a doctor if it’s blackSame thing on my Nicolai's. It's just the facing on the tube, not really an issue, just means that there's more material around the headtube and they're using a thicker bit of aluminium. On my raw frame, didn't care; on my black frame, I got a pressure pack of black matte paint (to match) and gave it a quick squirt.

Hey mate, yep it's definitely the right cup. I've heard from Commencal and they say it's normal so I'm ok with it. I painted it with a paint pen today.Do you have the right sized cup lips? Coming up short like that leads to an increased chance of deforming the cup and popping it out under the sort of pressure jumping and rock gardens cause. If it pings hard you'll likely ovalise the head tube. The wider head tube puts so much extra leverage on the headset lips.
