Is that proof ordinary headsets are poorly designed too?
You are right Dan. You make a lot of sense. Good designs experience the most trouble. Bad is good and good is bad. This thread isn't proof of a bad design. For one thing, nobody has held up a sign and decried it so. Most owners that have struggled with their FS may have been demons in their previous life and carried karma on through.
Of course there are those that don't believe in such things.
I think you have solved the mystery of why some have struggled with the FS. I am sure those you help here will be grateful..lol.
Here is another member you can help:
My Diverge has had done around 180 miles and had one cartridge replaced after 70 miles due to knocking. I’ve just come back from Italy and it’s knocking again so I’ll be taking it back to the shop. The knocking is apparent if I drop the front wheel from a few inches onto a hard surface. This disappeared as soon as it was replaced the first time. I’ll be asking the shop to contact specialized and if it can’t be fixed I’ll be demanding my money back.
