craigjames Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 How old is it? Silly question but are you sure you haven't over tightened it? Could be just that the bearings have gone, unusual for it to happen as the ordinarily last for ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quick_spider Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Did you press the cups in with a headset press? The headset will get tighter/looser if the cups are not square in the headtube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quick_spider Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 i will try that later thanksThe warranty is there to protect you against material and manufacturing defects, not becuse of lack of maintenance/incorrect installation.That said, King have always been helpful for me.Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
