How much too small? 50/62 will be the outer headtube dimensions, new 727 lists fsa orbit no.57 which is straightforward zero stack integral tapered headset. If it fits but is loose it could be an issue with the headtube, loctite might sort it.

Check your measurements and the hope tech diagrams

this is basically whats going on if it makes sense.Ive measured it 100 times and its definitely correct.

Headset with 50mm/62mm that i got had exact measurements as red clamps ive marked so thats why it was about 2mm too small on each side,top and bottom.
