Mikey Tomo Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Ok my headset has a bit of play in it and I was wondering how to tighten it up. I have checked the wiki and that just tells you how to remove and fit one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiuSliS Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Tighten stem and fork bolts. If i get you right. Or maybe your headset just ended his life? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob/Mitch Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Try un-doing your stem bolts then tighten your top cap bolt and re-tighten your stem bolts again.That should do the trick mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe your headset just ended his life?I love the way you put that!You get whats known as a hammer and smash it to pieces then cry about it til you form into a pile of tears. xYou're not funny, be quiet.Undo your stem bolts, tighten the bolt in the centre of the top-cap, then re-tighten the stem bolts.If that doesn't sort it, check out your headset bearings and whatnot, then consider replacing it if it has "ended it's life" as the other poster said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Chinnery Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 (edited) Yea i was only joking, But as Skoze took the words right out my mouth to be honest. Just renember to do the middle cap bold up really tight so it pulls the headset in. xI love the way riders give the bike the EVILS when they fall LMFAO Edited December 16, 2008 by Onza t-vee rider jack :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Just renember to do the middle cap bold up really tight so it pulls the headset in. xDon't do this.Undo the stem bolts.Tighten topcap bolt slightly, rock the forks back and forwards every turn or so.Once it stops rocking and feels good stop doing the bolt up and do the stem bolts up.If you tighten the topcap up it'll crush your headset bearings and you'll be f**ked forever.

(or till you get a new headset)Nick knows where it's at It's common sense in this game to take it gently gently when bike pimpin'/fiddling, that's how threads get f**ked, bearings get crushed and civilisations collapse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
