i bought one of those epoch headset from spartacus just for a change but am having trouble fitting it now.its all together except the lock nut wont go on as ive got no room for it,the rest of it sits flush with the top of the steerer.ive got about 1mm slack on both cups so can bang them home but that will at most give me 2mm to thread on the lock nut, any help appreciated before i chuck this fookin patty out of the loft room window

just found an old museum thread about these headsets,turns out that the bearings are made specifically for either the top or bottom cups so may take the thing apart at the weekend and swap the bearings about,hope this works

Maybe someone can measure the stack height of these & other OS headsets? Make it a sticky & then it can be used as a reference so peeps know what headset will/won`t work with their F/F.

I've got one on my mongoose californian and it fitted perfectly. I knoe it's a silly question, but have you put the bearing in the right way around so they sit flush in the cups?
