It's a trap

i cant seem to find much info on it, apart from its 1 1/8, but the lower race is quite wide, hoping i can just buy a cdale lower race as a spare to try the new forks?
Easier to buy a complete integrated headset - basically two bearings, compression ring and a crown race. You get spare bearings that way and they can be had for little money. I believe they are the campag hiddenset standard but do some digging before you commit.

Road riding is great!

I recognise that...

Good news.
Not sure the races should be like that but bottoming out the fork gently a few times with the damper removed can re-set them. The top race clip will push the lower races back in to position.
It's difficult to do it with the damper in because you have to fight the damper...and the spring (?) and it won't work with the top cap unscrewed because that prevents the telescope from extending fully.
Or you could just leave it...normal operation will do 90% of the work.

Would the 28h hold up on an XTR hub you think with two small panniers and a bar bag?
Neither will take a rim brake. As you know. The 28 would need to be on the front, but then if you are putting a disc brake on it...which is OK XC and CX racing but a bit touch and go for touring / every day with luggage. I'd use tough spokes and I carry some spares :)
Crest and alpine are not the most resilient of rims either so you'd need to be careful with spoke tension and whatnot.
Not much room for error, really.

They do.
Assume most of the bike shops just agree to suck up the 10% 'admin' fee cycle scheme seem to be charging them on the understanding that cyclescheme is a major driver of business and the margins on non-sale stuff are big enough to absorb it anyway.
Shimano go home you be drunk
