Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

The shop did a lousy job pressing the crown race. It could be that they were lazy/sloppy, or that the crown race seat is too large and they jammed it on as far as they could and quit -- not too good on their part.

There's no need to bother, unless you want to let them finish the job you paid for.

If you do nothing at all, time and road shock will slowly settle the race until it bottoms. You'll be readjusting the headset a few times during the settling process.

BTW- this isn't all that rare, but worse than par. Settling of the pressed cups and crown race is why new bikes need headset readjustment within a few days.
