• Not a cable issue; checked that one! Feels like a friction stiffness. Also just opened the headset to reseat the threads and noticed that the bearings had bunched up in a certain area - do I need to use larger bearings if I'm removing the cage and there's hence more space for movement perpendicular to the side to side direction they're meant to be rolling in?

    Edit: Took all solutions suggested and generally repacked bearings and things seem fine; thanks all as always!

  • Nope, the races should only be touching the balls in either setup. Bigger balls would make the radius too large and the balls would bind in the races.
