Just for the sake of argument, assume the following facts: The headset (old one) was removed properly and a brand new one was installed correctly with the careful use a good press.
Q: Is it possible to have an ovalized HT on your bike, but not be able to tell until after you install a new (or different) headset? In other words, your bike is riding fine one day, you swap-out the headset, and now of the sudden, you're experiencing some play (or gaps) with the newly installed one.
And yes, the i-drive is just fine. Just doing some fact checking/research. -- Slacker

Yep, had a similar thing with my bmx. The old lower cup had deformed with the headtube. Still worked ok, but when I installed a new headset the rocking was noticeable.
