Terry, what do you mean by "deep cup"? Does that mean that the part that fits inside the headtube is taller than on standard headsets, increasing the area over which impacts and force are distributed?- Doug :-)
I have Chris King headsets on the 956, one of the 856's and the 4000. My wife's 955 has a wide headset, and the lower cup actually seems to contact the front shock spring. Terry has a frame of mine right now where the owner used some cheap-o Tioga headset, installed it wrong and cracked the headtube on both the top and bottom. What a shame, because the frame looks to have so few miles on it. Terry, what do you mean by "deep cup"?

You are 100% sure that the top clamps are fully seated down? It usually takes me two or three tries and a ride to finish the adjustment.
Well, the headset is now on, and it runs silky smooth the old headset bottom race was well and truly buggered, looked like it hadn't seen any grease in years.However.....Some movement in the front end still remains, not as bad as it was, but it's still there. I think I've traced it to the Crosslink forks. With the front brake on I can see a very small amount of movement at the linkage at the very top of the fork legs, it is this which I believe is causing the front end to still feel a little "loose".What are my options here? I see that this seller on ebay has seal kits for the Crosslink forks...http://stores.ebay.co.uk/We-Sell-XS_Cycling_W0QQ_fsubZ9257799QQ_sidZ92593645QQ_trksidZp4634Q2ec0Q2em322Which kit(s) would I need to overhaul the forks?
