I installed a brand new Tange Passage headset on my latest build. I installed the caged bearings exactly as indicated in the instructions, and could not adjust that headset. So today I took it apart and flipped them both over. BANG! It seems odd that they would have tthe bearings reversed in their instructions.
And while we're here......I installed my second set of press fit headset races. The bottom one went right in, but the top took some effort. It didn't want to go in straight, and it didn't want to go in all the way. My question is this. If that cup was somehow too big for the head tube, would I have the strength to bulge the head tube by trying to force it in? I was using a home made headset press.
As always, thanks in advance.
