Hi Folks,
I went to replace the bearing set in the headset of my Trek (2012) 1.1. I put in what I thought was a like for like replacement set, however I have a small gap on the top section of the headset. On googling this I see it might be an ill fitting of the chamfer between the lockring and the cartridge bearings. I would prefer to buy a full replacement headset kit (don't want any issues with steering or stableness of the headset) - but which one would do it?

The info I have from the Trek site is "Headset
1-1/8" semi-cartridge bearings"
Cheers
Luxman
