hey y'all,

I had a quick question about a Ritchey Logic threaded headset.

I've been having a hard time installing it onto my '96 cannondale 2.8 r2000. At first I wasn't able to eliminate play (even when fully tightening the headset). I realized the bearings are top and bottom specific which helped but then realized that the locknut on top was bottoming out.

Are there any special tricks or things to keep in mind when installing this specific headset?

I received the headset along with the frame and fork from another ******er so I assume that they are all compatible and I'm just woefully ignorant about how to properly install them.

Thanks!

If your top locknut is bottoming out then you should put a spacer between the two locknuts. That will effectively raise the top locknut on the fork.
