I recently got a frame and fork off the forum fitted with a nearly new cane creak headset.
I had notised after a short ride that it was squeaking a fair bit, I then got home and found it was very stiff ( the bars would not swing around like bars do )
I did not touche it because I am no good with headsets and did not want to do anything wrong so took it to my new LBS and they said I was missing the upper crown in the headset. I e-mailed the dude I got it off and told him he said he fitted what he got sent when he ordered the headset. He said just tightening the top nut stops the noise, but when I did that is just became even stiffer and the noise when I turned the bar was even louder!
I looked on the Cane Creek website about the stems and it gave me list of what is in the box, and no upper crown was to be listed!
Can anyone help?
