If you are getting more friction with new bearings, I have to assume one of two causes:
- You just have the headset adjusted too tight (the "loose as possible without any play rule" applies)
- or something is rubbing. If you did put in too small bearings, it coudl cause two races to rub against each other when there used to be a very tiny gap. Check all the places where one part is still next to a part that moves.
