help with district fork/headset

[thingy's dad]

Hi all, i'm asking this for my son he's only 9, He's just got a district fork and headset but we can't work out which way round the cups go, one way there is a gap between the fork and cup, the other way the district logo can't be seen and doesn't look right, i have had/got headset like this on mtb so i'm not a total noob.

I'll see if pics will upload, cheers.

i use intregrated headsets but i belive the headsets suppose to be high for it tobe able to be in the headtube of the deck i might just be talking outta my butt but i belive this is how you do it but am not sure so wait a little longer

cheers roccog, any little bit of info will help.

ok the last picture is the correct order and the bottom half goes into the bottom insert of the deck and the top half goes onto the top insert of the deck like this

well no,theres a part called a crown race/fork race this:http://www.google.com/imgres?q=crow...8&tbnw=204&start=0&ndsp=28&ved=1t:429,r:5,s:0
you have to get a 1 3/8th pipe or hammer that part in with a flat head like in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cBlvdhn6UU

what, the headset is crap....well the shop as sent the wrong one, should have been the pro one not the open bearings one.

Dont listen to him, The pro is better its easier to deal with, but the last picture is right, you just need to put your crown race on and it will look right, if you can get the pro one, do it but with this put your cups in grease it tighten the ics down and it will be fine
