Ovaling can ONLY cause a poor fit if metal is removed as I described above.
FWIW, if this is new, it's defective ,(opinion) by virtue of whoever did the prep.
So headtube conforms to cup, not vice versa? The cup I pressed in was perfectly round on the bearing before install. Cup went in dead square. Then after that the little bit of fore aft slop happened, exactly like the OG cup.
If manufacturing defect then the cup will conform to the tube?
Thanks
