I guess it's when you wrap your hand around the headset, turn the bars to the side, apply the front brake and rock the bike backwards and forwards: if there's play in your headset, you'll be able to feel it.
Can't say I've ever used it to assess the noodle factor.
Scilly.Suffolk-
@fizzy.bleach Exactly what i mean...i normally also don't test the noodle factor with this approach, however in this case it was pretty obvious. But i don't want to spoil the party - maybe the frame is a little bit older and used a different carbon composit. Cannot find any pictures online - looks the same, but colour is a nice dull grey.

Interesting, and I'm not surprised. What do you mean by testing the headset?
