Did not know this.
I did plan on taking the top cap off my raleigh just for the sake of building. I wasn't thinking about a properly tightened stem holding everything in place.
Thanks for the tip.
On a side note, if I buy a frameset that says "comes with fsa zs3 headset" am I off-base to assume that it was going to come with a top cap?
