Weird headset race

Posted on
  • Ok so ive just bought a new stronglight headset as shown, the components are manufactured from alluminium but feature what i presume are stainless races which is fine. However the first pic shows the top race wich is pressed into the headtube. Now the actual stainless race has been pressed on to the alluminium part and cannot be removed. Whereas for the bottom race (lower pic) the stainless raceway just sits on top of the aluminium part and as shown in the photo sits about .1 of a mm higher all the way around. I just wondered whether this was normal for needle bearing headsets or whether prior to fitting it should be taken back to the shop??

    Thanks
