With a sealed bearing, this all takes place inside the bearing and unless you've opened it up wouldn't be visible, so I doubt that's what you're referring to.

But I assume I'd feel it? So just a change of bearings, rather than a full headset replacement.

The steering feels "notchy"? Is this what you mean, when you say "I seem to have managed it."?

If so, then I'd think new bearings are all you'd need. But when you strip it down, check that the bearings are still a snug fit in the cup or seat.

Yup, it locks into the straight ahead position. Feels exactly like it does on threaded headsets. It's probably been ridden slightly loose at some point as these proprietary headsets are an odd design that requires thread lock to keep them tight.

Thanks.
