It's more of an assumption the cups are the issue.
Once I had the steerer cut, I went ahead and installed the stem/spacers/compression plug/cap.
When i tightened down the compression plug, the front of the bearing cap presents no gap between it and the cup. The rear of the cap has a gap, visibly noticable and also by touch you can tell there's an issue. When on the stand the the bars will rotate freely, but the moment you put any weight on the front end, the bearing cap is grinding against the cup.
