Scrod, I have a conundrum. The headset is solid, just having some issues with both of my bearing dust caps. Stock, and an aftermarket low stack.

With the stock FSA cap, the dust cap makes contact with the headtube, so that isn't good. It's easily fixable with microspacers though.

The other issue is a little meh-er.
I'd prefer to use the aftermarket one... well, cause I paid for it.

The issue with the "Slam That Stem" dust cap is that there's a 2-3mm gap between the headtube and the dust cap. There are some pics later. It's functional like that, it just looks like ****.

The compression ring that came with the headset has a solid, like 2mm lip above the angular part(pics will show it better). I think a different compression ring, one with the same angle as the stock ring, would fix the gap. A more standard ring, with less of a lip.

I'm thinking of trying a compression with less of a lip, like this:


Gap:


Compression ring:


Installed w/o dust cap:




Think that'll work? Thoughts?
