dirt jumper jake Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 First off, what frame/fork/headset combo you got? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Burrows Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 I'd say it is most likely one of the following things Compression ring or crown race missing (or you have them mixed up) Wrong crown race for the headset (have you changed forks and/or headsets?) A knackered starnut that is spinning or pulling up through the forks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
