Just removed the bearing cages in my threaded campag headset because I noticed the steering was beginning to 'index', replaced the 20 3/16 balls and packed full of grease (to keep them in place), and oddly enough only seemed to be able to pack in two extra ones. Steering works fine and smoothly (my litmus test is braking + riding no-hands) but the headset oddly enough does not allow free movement past a certain point - it will get very sticky/stiff when turned far to the left or the right. Any ideas?
