I've got a bit of a problem with a new CK Steelset I'm trying to fit, basically the top cap rubs the top cup at the front. I've checked that the bearings are seated properly, I've had the head tube faced and I've tried a few different stems on it, all to no avail.
The only thing I can think might be wrong is the head tube is bent, it's just plain guage chromoly, and not terribly thick (which is why I bought a steelset). Is it possible the headtube bent? I've checked for signs of misalignment between the cups and the frame but I can't see anything wrong.... what else could be wrong?
