ovalized headtube

[Jacek]

hey guys

when i got my ambush, there was something wrong. the bike shop ppl measured the integrated races, and had really strange results, but i just purchased a headset that ambush said would work.

but when i put it in, the headset creaks and creaks, so i figured its ovalized or poorly manufactured.

i know its not the headset, but is there anything i can do to make the headset spin evenly and not creak? (it spins hard at somespots and smooth at some)

it could quite possibly be ovalized, im pretty sure ambush has had things like that happen.
What compression are you running? And what fork? Also, it could be that youre overtightening it. Bikes get that creaking sometimes if you tighten the compression too much.

yea that happens to my headset sumtimes, but i have a lucky pro with a pro headtube, maybe its ovalised idk i wudnt be surprised if it is

it wouldnt be too bad if a pro ht was ovalized, its not integrated. Ambushes are.
Maybe just superglue it in there if you dont really care about it
