so question number 2 - a slightly more tricky one possibly... does anyone know how to make my steerng.. less responsive?
The trouble is, its so clean and new in there, that if i lift the bike a little the front end flops down loose, all the way round, usually sending my calliper crashing into my downtube....
I quite like it on older steel frames where the steering axis isnt loose like blowing in the wind, its more just that it wont turn any further than when you move it.. usually it looks like thats because theres a good amount of darkened grease keeping it slow and squishy...
any ideas? maybe some kind of incredibly thick but clean and slow moving grease?
