I have a 1" threaded Token headset on my new frame
I've been riding it for about 3 weeks now.
But I noticed the headset was loose.
I tightened it up.
It was loose the next day.
It keeps loosening itself....what can I do?
I opened it up to see if the threads were OK, they were.
But it looks as if there is not enough room in the lock nut for the top of the stem.
I don't fancy taking a saw to it, maybe a 2mm spacer?
Maybe I'm tightining it wrongly - do you need 2 spanners, like with hub bearings?
