You guys are awesome, thanks! I'm going to look into a couple of things you all mentioned and see what I can do.

It is an Origin 8 headset. It says Standard 1" on the box, and the guy at the shop said the head tube measured 30.4mm so those numbers all add up. So I think I have the right headset, but I'll double check anyways. If i do have the right one, I'll probably try the aluminum can shim.

So what is the safety concern here? Speed wobbles? I don't understand how this would "fail" if it did.

This is a last resort, because it will cost me more $$, but a very good option. Thanks!
