Hey guys, I typically have the bike shop do this since they have presses and crown race tools, but this frame arrived prepped. So, Trying to get the top of the assembly set up, and I cannot figure out the order! Its a Cane Creek 40 something headset in a Niner RLT. I want to say the angular bearing gets dropped in, because otherwise I don't see it lining up with anything, but the little silver piece creates a big gap for the dust cap if I set it down.... and yeah, I don't know. Help?

Edit: here is a cane creek PDF... and I don't see that silver piece even mentioned. So is it just bearing then dust cap?

The bearing goes into the top race in the orientation you have pictured. The "silver ring" is the conical centering bushing and it goes in on top of the bearing cartridge and flipped over from the way you show it. The top cover then goes on and presses down on the silver ring to keep the bearing and cap centered on the steerer.

Thanks man, appreciated. Went to look at it again, and I don't think the steerer was centered so I wasn't able to get the ring in far enough to have no gap with the dust cover. Got it to click in farther, and it went down fine.

Thanks!
