Edited Date/Time:
I noticed that the lower fork/bearing (crown) race on my DK Alpha forks is a little bent, probably from when I installed it and I didn't notice it then. I have a sealed bearing headset, should it affect anything? It looks like the lower bearing aren't even sitting fully on the race, and I haven't had any problems so far.
