On the British versions (Brampton lugs) the races float in hemispherical cups and fall out when you disassemble the fork. Easiest race installation ever and always aligned to itself as a bearing. How well that is aligned to the frame is another question.

Just working on the Pop Brennan with this headset for a possible visit to the Cirque!
