Hey guys!

I've finally started my build, and I was putting the fork back on today. After tightening the headset, I moved the fork round and headset sounded scratchy. So I took everything apart and cleaned it out to find a bunch of grit in there.

I cleaned it up and repacked it, but the same thing happened 5 times! I pack it full of grease, move it around and it comes out black! I have no idea where the stuff is coming from since I've already cleaned everything else a few times...

Any help here?

Also, I've read the park tool site and the book, and I'm just wondering how I know that the headset is good to go. I'm having trouble finding that sweet spot and I was hoping one of you awesome C&V'ers would help me out!

(An annoying side note, I don't have a bb tool for the veloce bb so I had to hand tighten it. Now I have to go to the lbs to get them to tighten it. Hopefully they'll just let me use the tool without paying anything like they've done in the past. They're really cool because I buy things from them off and on, hopefully that won't change during my build haha.)
