rickyb Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Could be a number of things realy try and take the heaset apart and grease it up a bit and check the forks for cracks or stress marks. I don't think it will be a problem with the fitting or the headset it will just need a bit of TLC rickyb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zIp-AdE-dOo-DaR Posted March 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 i've tryed greasing the headset up and i'm sure the forks are not cracked or stressed i think that the steerer tube may be to thin for the headset. but i'm not to sure i'm so confused.cheerszIp-AdE-dOo-DaR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickyb Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 I don't think it will be too thin, is the steerer short or is it near the top of the stem?rickyb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
