Is it ok ?

do you mean the wedge section ring with a split in it that wedges it all together on the steerer? If so, not really: it has an upper ring with a wedge in it (bit like a crown race but upside down) and a seal. Quite hard to get on right in my experience: I had it on one bike and it was perfect, but I never managed to get it to work without wobbling on 2 frames after. Probably mechanical ineptitiude, since on the frame it did work on it was very smooth and very nicely sealed.

Got em on two bikes - very good headsets for the money. Smooth and silky in operation and easy to fit.
