Cane Creek S1 sealed headset problem

[kolbycrouch]

i couldn't find any information when i search so here it goes
i got a cane creek sealed for christmas and tried putting it my b model headtube, but it wont go in all the way
i used the bolt compression method and used a vice with washers, but the cups still don't go all the way in.
one side might go all the way in but the other still sticks out

please help asap, i bought a threadless fork for christmas and would really like to use it

yea man its gay, if all else fails i might file them down a couple mm's

its fine if the bottom cup sticks out a tiny bit. my S-3 does, and so did my FSA. as long as it spins fine, you're good.

alright awesome thanks greg

 

[kolbycrouch]

the top does as well, at first i thought screw it ill just put my bars on and everything, but the top cup started to come out.

 

[Hep Greg]

take a piece of wood, and beat the shit out of the cup until it goes in. make sure its like thick cheap wood so you dont damage the cup. 2x4s work well.

Bottom cups don't go in fully on Razor headtubes.

Yeah I have an S1 and it doesn't go in all the way but spins like a mofo. Best headset ever.
