Tappered headtube with a little gap
Dear All,
I have a cube peloton 2014 with a tappered FSA headtube, and there is a 2-3mm gap between the frame and the fork at the connection.
As well at the top and at the bottom by the headtube.
Now the fork does not have any movement by brakeing but will it be problematic if this gap stays between the frame and the fork?
If it'S problem how to solve it?
Thank you

Photo?
With out this, there shouldn't be any significant gap with an IS (integrated) headset. With no photo, and no info about who set this up, thinking you would be best to go to a LBS and have them look at it. Could be as simple as something is installed in an incorrect order, or not pressed in enough. Without photos, it's pretty hard to guess any further.
