Hey guys,
Im currently designing headsets cups for my 2022 cube stereo 170 that originally uses a plastic Acros angle headset. I’ve been having a lot of issues with theses cups because they sit loosely in the frame which causes them to creak. I started to design a cup that would mix the weird semi integrated cup design from acros with the design from cane creeks zs headsets so it would work with their bearings, crown races and the top bearing cover. I’ve made a couple 3D printed designs and they seem to work great… Only issue that I’ve ran into is the the lower cup cracks each time I install it on the frame… I plan on getting this design cnc machined in aluminum so I was wondering if the cracking was due to a bad measurement or only due to the weak plastic. Would this be resolved when it’s in aluminum? Thank you very much!
