clean your headset. make sure your HIC is tight but not too tight, and make sure your clamp is fully tightened.

edit: mason sounds correct.

My District headset came like that. The topcap scraped. I just put a 1 1/8 O-Ring under the top cap and it works perfectly

hahaha all of you guys are wrong (not bein a dick) kc had the same problem for a long time and even rode without his top cap cause of it. the problem is not having all the slits lined up (bars hic clamp ect). when the slit isnt lined up the shim pushes down on the cap un evenly causing it to grind.

so remember kiddos keep your alignment like your sex, good and straight!
