headset loose
Howdy, I'm upgrading somethings on my bike and just had a new chris king headset and new manitou fork put on my aluminum frame at the lbs. The problem is that the bottom of the headset is not tight and I can turn it with my hand. There also seems to be a little play in it.
question: Should it do this? Do yall think the headtube has been expanded by previous headset? Can I add anything to tighten this thing up? I really like the frame and don't want to get a new one. Thank You in advance! Last edited by Closner05 : 18-02.-2005 at 12:35 PM. |

Re: headset loose
First I would take it back to the lbs and get them to adjust it, if they just replaced it recently then they shoud adjust it for free.
If you want to do it yourself Park Tools has useful info http://www.parktool.com/repair_help...ss.shtml#adjust |

Re: headset loose
Well folks I decided that I couldn't live with the headset being loose like that so I broke down and bought a frame. My brand new Orbea Scape hardtail will be here in about two weeks.
So after cracking a rim and deciding to do a "few upgrades" I'll have an entirely new bike when I put everything together. |
