Alex.loves.boys Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 headset's loose by the sound of it..you done it up tight enough?Maybe you need a spacer in there?how far does the steerer tube come up in the stem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kataliktikos Posted August 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 It's tight enough...very tight...I dont know...I cant move it withmy hands only when I put all the bikes weight on the front wheel when I make an endo or a technique that needs balancing on the front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.trial_dude Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Maybe the caliper isn't tight enough ?or the disc..Front wheel shaking ?Loosen the 2 bolts from the stem,then tighten the bolt from the headset, and tighten the bolts from the stem after that.

ConnorPowell Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 maybe you tighted the headset wrong, can be done.first loosent the headset top cap bolt right off, then loosen the stem bolts where its clamps onto the fork, then tighten the top cap, then tighten the stem bolts back up. should work ive done it plenty of times, it wasnt till i was shown the right way to tighten it that i started doing it this way.

Ash-Kennard Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 if your topcap has a lip, then the bit that goes into the stem rather than ontop, could be touching the top of the forks, took me a while to work out why mine was so tight and still loose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
