mat hudson Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 did you tighten the stem bolts before tghtening the top cap? dont do this, the stem must be loose for the headset to be tightened. if you did it correctley, tighten more. if not, the cup could be cracked i guess.

wolfie Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Just loosen the stem bolts then tighten the bolt in the centre of the top cap until there is no more play. Then just re-tighten the stem bolts again. The headset should still run smoothly after this is done otherwise you would have tightened the top cap too much.
