Conor.N Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Hey.It could be loads of diffrent things buddy, but if you now how to take your headset apart then just pop it out and give the bearings and the cups a clean, regrees them and fit it all back together.Also just check if everthings tight might not even be your headset lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisbikefix Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 (edited) take the headset apart and grease the beast up! .. it could be a number of things though, quick release skewers might need greaseing up (on the cam part) could be stem, bars .... or even your shoulders .. a good clean and lubing session will work i think Edited November 5, 2007 by chrisbikefix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.McMillan Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 take the headset apart and grease the beast up! .. it could be a number of things though, quick release skewers might need greaseing up (on the cam part) could be stem, bars .... or even your shoulders .. a good clean and lubing session will work i thinkeven your shoulders, haha, jst tighten it, hold the breaks on and rock the bike forwards n backwards that will find out if there is any play in it, if there is give it a tighten, my mates headset was creaking and it cracked, so check for cracks n that.

kona1991 Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 I remember dropping my forks out once, and then the bottom cup and bearings fell all out on the floor.Yeh, those were the days, the bearing cage had snapped and god knows what happen to the bottom cup.But then i bought an FSA PIG DH beast and its worked for ages.I know this hasnt really helped, But i thought i'd share my little story.

The Riddlers Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 If it persists, change it. Its not like they cost a fortune! You dont really want a headset collapsing mid ride..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
