So I'm a moron it turns out.
I superglued a ball bearing into one of the stem steerer tube clamp bolts on the caadx as a theft prevention method.
But, I hadn't adjusted the headset properly...
I tried to remove the ball bearing and have had absolutely zero luck. Tried hacking / twatting it with something pointy, I've tried loosening the glue with acetone and I've tried heating it up with a cigarette lighter. So far nothing
I'm nervous about adding too much heat as its attached to my nice full Carbon ritchey fork.
Any ideas?
