Headset question for Dolan Pre Cursa owners
For those of you who have built a Dolan with the supplied Alpina fork and headset- did the headset come with a compression ring or washer? Looking at diagrams of every other integrated headset of this type I have noticed they all have the compression ring, but mine did not. I'm wondering if it's missing from my package or if this particular headset doesn't utilize it.

Thank you! I couldn't find a pic anywhere on the web to verify what it comes with. Would it be unsafe to ride without it? I can't seem to find anyone selling that single piece and I really don't want to buy a whole headset if I don't have to.

It might not be possible to adjust it correctly w/o that washer, such that the headset will have a lot of play in it. Either that, or it will be too tight. This is quite unsafe IMO.
