My Brand-X integrated tapered headset came with these thin metal rings, but no instructions. Anyone fancy speculating where they're supposed to go...?
🦃?
When you tighten everything down to remove the play if the steerings a bit tight you need to add these under the top cap so you can tighten enough to remove play but the steerings nice and free
Goes between the compression ring and the top cap (if they are needed due to top cap or top cap seal bottoming out on the headset cup or frame).
As above, they go between the compression ring and the top cap, to 'fine tune' how close the top cap sits to the rest of the headset. Less = better sealing but maybe some friction, more = less friction but poorer sealing.
I normally just stick one in.
Thanks!
