Timely thread. 
I was helping someone with a 168 build.
He was getting headset play, and I had no advice, as I didn’t have the same issue.
Will forward this on

BrianO:
Great Idea, Can anyone do a youtube video series on this?

Hi all,
My question is more for the VB-R-099 headset, I had used a 3mm shim between the top cap and c ring but there's still a very slight play, which I believed is due to the thickness of the shim. It also created a 1+mm gap between the top cap and the head tube. I couldn't find a thinner shim so I was thinking to try a thicker top bearing. Would appreciate if anyone could share the info for the dimensions of the headset bearings used on the VB-R-099, thinking of sourcing for a slightly thicker top bearing online to try. Thanks.

ThomasNovak:
Number one did the trick for me. Thank you!

just to add.

if your fork is in this design (has a face, C-shape style mounting, do consider using these micro-spacers in between c-ring to stem).

i was troubleshooting why my headset is still loose despite i already have my bearings snug, trying tip#2
then i remembered my supplied headset kit came with these, as i was re-reading tip #3 few times.

now my headset issue is solved   ;D
