JT! Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 It's probably just the bearings going, it's nothing to worry about, your stem isn't going to pull away from your bike or anything like that, but it'll get worse and worse as time goes on.You can grease up the bearings, but it's only a temp solution to a perminant problem.

ConnorPowell Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Yeah take the forks out, take the bearings out and put them onto a peice of rag wipe them off, wack a f**k load of grease where the bearings go, put the bearings back in and pu grease over them so they are caked in. put your forks back in and ride.
