Anyone else find that the fork has a gap with the headtube with the lower race installed?
Without the bottom race the fork seems to rotate smoothly. Not sure if long term it would rub off the paint at the interface and becomes rougher, the paint being possibly the only thing making it a smooth turn.
Third photo is without the metal race. The steerer tube is definitely sloped at the fork--perhaps this is meant as an integrated crown race and they just included the separate metal race anyway?
