headset question
I just pressed in headset cups on an Orbit X-CX headset and I realized that the writing is upside down. Are these cups identical? Does it matter that I might have put the bottom on the top? Its a 1 1/8 inch conventional type headset. What do you think? I really dont want to admit that I made a huge error.

If they're the same dimensions I wouldn't worry about it particularly, but it's so easy to knock them back out on the other hand....

Thanks for the replies. I will switch the bearings and seal and attempt to complete the installation. I just wish that FSA was more clear on how the headset pieces fit together. The drawings that they have are too simple to tell exactly what they are referring to. It would be nice if there were actual photographs.

Well, one thing you can usually count on is for any logos to be read easily...the marketing guys are good about that.

Anyone asks about the upside down logos, just tell them you meant to do that.
