  • fork/headset on my supersix evo HM is rattling again.

    Replaced the expander plug a while ago and LBS put new bearings in headset recently. What gives and how do it fix it?

  • Is the expander plug far down the steerer enough? I found my top cap was botttoming out on the plug after I had cut my steerer (and then refitted the plug). If it is, then also try greasing the threads on the top cap and also where the top cap interfaces with the top of the stem. Then try tightening everything up again and it should feel nice and snug (and stay that way).

    I found that after any removal of the fork the headset took one ride and a couple of big bumps to settle into place and would need tightening once more after this.
