Dirt Disciple
I'm in the process of my first retro build, a 1980 Alan Super Record. I just received a used (but VGC) Campag Record headset and was surprised to find the races drop straight into the head tube with about 1/4mm of play
Feeling inside the head tube there is a ridge about 25mm in at both ends, suggesting it has been reamed to suit a very slightly bigger headset.
Anyone come across this before? Are there headsets with different outside diameters for the races where they slot into the frame?
As regards a solution, has anyone any clever ideas or is it down to a Coke can shim and some Araldite?
Any help appreciated. Thanks!
