Ground down headset cup

[Griffiths007]

Hey, my top cap is seriously messed up. It has grinded down part of my integrated headset cup on my district. Now it wobbles but it is still basketball dialled. Is this something that I should worry about?
Cheers

sounds like you overtighten it.
only if the wobbling wrecks youre ridind i'd worry

I havent over tightened it. Its my topcap cus its bent. It inly wobbles at the point it has been ground down

Bump. Please say what you think it is!

if it's wobbling then it isn't dialed... as long as it still spins well and you can get it tightened down all the way then it should be fine.

Its like a really solid "clunk" of a wobble. Not a rattly one. It pops when I jump and do nose mannys and stuff.

I never really understood the original post. What do you mean by "It has grinded down part of my integrated headset cup on my district"?

I mean as the top cap is bent, it has ground down a small section of the headset cup on my v2-i. It makes a solid crunch of a wobble when I pull back to hop or push forward for nose tricks.

i'd line the inside of the integrated bit on the deck with tape and then put a flat piece of wood over the bearing (so it doesnt dent the bearing) and forcefully hammer it in

because it sounds to me like its ovalised

I'll try it. But you can see where it has been ground down slightly.
