If you have rhe new headset and tools , try it and see does it work. 40 min job.
If you don't have the part or tools just leave it alone.

Sorry I mean it is just to keep peace in mind because already one year after I purchase it. Not have problem with my current headset it is still spin correctly.
Maybe for my next build....If the factory bike spec have a complete FSA TH848 headset, is it safe to change different type of headset that have longer stack height? especially on the lower cup...

The bike have a rigid fork.
