Hi - repacked my Campy Record 1 1/1/8 headset threadless.
Diasassembled, cleaned thoroughly, changed balls and reassembled.
Everything in correct order and triple checked - nothing upside down,
etc. . On reassembly, everything more snug than before and now top of
steerer tube comes to top of stem and not 3 mm below as before. Even
at max compression of top cap there's vertical play in the system.
Headset has been in place and dunctioning properly for a few years -
I've rechecked my work a bunch of times and can't sort out the
problem. Any ideas ? If all else fails, I guess I can just put another
spacer below the stem, but I don't understand what happened. All
surfaces, etc. appear in good shape.FWIW, fork is Reynolds Ouzo Pro,
stem is Thomson Elite.
Thanks for your thoughts.
