I'm putting together my Twitter C6 and I'm just making sure I'm putting the headset together correctly. It looks like the fork rests directly on the lower headset bearing, because I don't see a spacer or a shim or anything else that looks like it can rest between them. Does this look right? I just don't want to crush the carbon fiber or anything like that.

That fork requires the use of a crown race. It should come with the headset. Its a ring of metal with a 45 degree edge. Look for videos on youtube of how to install it. You either need a tool or some pipe.

Okay, I wasn't sure about the nomenclature, but that's the part I was looking for when I said "spacer" or "shim". Yes, I didn't see one in the baggie of parts or already on the fork, and I WAS expecting to see one. I'll dig around some more and triple check my pile of empty packaging. Thanks.

I've triple checked everything and I can't find it anywhere, so I assume I just didn't receive a headset race.

I measured the bearing and it appears to be a typical 1-1/2" headset bearing. I'm going to take a chance and order something from amazon so I can get this bike together for the weekend (fingers crossed). If anyone wants to give me any critiques, I'm open to suggestions. See pics below
