supposed to be just the top nut but you have loads too much thread left over there .. you gonna need to cut some off or whack a load of washers on before the top nut

Wildon - yes thats what i thought. I guess maybe it was meant to have a gyro which would fill the gap. Ile have to just put spacers on.

It looks like your fork steerer is too big for your head tube.

Are A-head head tubes smaller than inch ones? I only ask as the Giro lug points to it being a new skool frame which don't usually have threaded forks.

I think you may have it there Bob, 1 1/8th headtube/headset with threaded forks  ???

It has to be a 1 1/8th headset as it looks to be using a compression ring to take up the slack of the steerer inside the head tube  :daumenhoch:

What bike is it?

1&1/8 threaded?  I've got some mongoose ones, mine has the stem next, then a fook off big top nut to compress it all down, horrible, but works.

May not be enough thread if thats the case....
