I have fitted my HT with a rigid fork for commuting purposes but having problems with the headset (i think).
I have an FSA orbit extreme pro headset which was fine with my suspension fork but not with the rigid. When i fit the forks they turn fine by hand until i tighten the top cap. When the top cap is tight, i can’t turn the fork at all. When i take the stem off the forks are properly wedged in. I have sanded the excess paint off and they seemed better, but when i tighten it all back up same again.
I refitted the suspension forks and it works perfectly, then refitted the rigids, same thing again.
Any ideas?
