I'm having a slight issue with a headset on one of my bikes, and I'm hoping someone can offer advice. It's a 1 inch threaded Stronglight (piece of shit) headset. The crown race is a loose fit on the forks - I was wondering whether I should just loctite it up, or whether it's worth buying a better fitting headset? The other issue is that I have tightened the headset so that the forks turn smoothly in the frame without any tight-spots but there is still play in the headset. If I tighten it up any more then the forks don't turn smoothly, is the play likely to be down to the crown race being a bit loose?
