I cant seem to get my FSA PIG headset tightened up for the life of me. The main cups are in the frame right, but there is play on the top with the bearing and cup. I took it apart and tried again to no success everthing looked decent but i could be wrong. Im pretty sure i have the right amount of spacers too. Any tips?

I might just need a new headset i was looking at the pig dh pro again because ive had good luck with it over the years. I was also looking at the crank bros. opium dh. It has a five year warranty but i wonder if it can be as tough as the PIG when its posted at 110grams lighter. Let me know what you think.

The one problem I've had is forgetting to put something in. The compression ring that sits inside the top bearing is vital for it to work correctly. Check and make sure you put everything in correctly, because it should tighten up.
