embarassing question

Glynnyboy:
Balls in Greg.. So as said above.
If you look at the cage, the side that looks like the balls may come out of the cage goes on the bearing race that sits on the forks. So the bearing cup goes neatly on the top. (that's the bottom part)
The top bit is flipped the other way as the race is the top part of the headset that you screw on to the fork thread.
This applies for most headsets except for ones like tange 300 and 125's etc . On those headsets the race for the top set of bearings is tapped in the top part of the top tube so the bearings seat the same as on the fork bearing race.

58 delray:
are your cups in squarely greg as if they aren't it will cause the same problem?
