I've just cycled my bike that lives outside for the first time probably 2ish weeks and the headset is now slightly notchy, if I take it apart, regrease it and make it so that the front is rotated around slightly and reposition the bearings, would it fix it or should I just get a new one? Or will cycling it again regularly wear it back in a bit? It's not awful but kind of noticeable.
Repacking with loose, rather than caged, bearings is the recommended fix (short of a new headset) for notchiness. Since you can fit in more bearings most of them will no longer be aligned with the notches that have worn into the cups.
