So, now I have to figure out what to do? What are my options? Obviously new headset. But can I still use this fork? How? I don't know anything about headset spacers (in fact I just realized they existed today) can I use them?
Thanks a billion for helping guys.
Spacers are washers of varying thickness that go, usually, between the adjustable top cup and the lock nut (the very top). There's an upper limit to the number of washers that you should use - they screw up the headset adjustment, but you have maybe a quarter of an inch of adjustment by adding and removing the spacers. It is convenient, if you have a groove milled into the steerer (the threaded part of the fork), to get headset washers with little tabs that fit into that groove. that will help keep the locknut from unthreading...
