My gravel bike keeps developing some play in the headset after rides - I've tried everything I can think of but no success. Any ideas? So far I have tried different expander plugs (longer, more textured), ensured there's enough space above the stem to preload, torqued everything, tried different stems... at a bit of a loss now!
Will give that a shot, thanks. Torqued the expander plug to recommended 5nm, stem is all torqued appropriately, hadn't really occurred to me that the top cap / preload would contribute but worth a try!
