• What's the best way to set headset bearing preload on a bike with disc brakes? There is play in the pad on the front brake so it's impossible to tell if there's any play in the headset bearings.

  • Turn your handlebar 90 degree so the wheel is 90 degrees from the frame, put hand on headset, push bike back and forth (without holding brakes).

    Most disc brake have a play in the pads, which is not noticeable when riding, only when pushing the bike backward.
