Loose headset

  • Sorry this has probably been covered before but I cant seem to find it.

    I had a headset installed by amourtex but they would cut down my forks so I did it myself.

    When the headset is done up tight there is still vertical movement in the forks.

    Can anyone suggest anything i could try before i take it back to amourtex?

  • Threaded or a headset?

    I suspect you need to add some spacers to allow the locknut or top cap sufficient purchase on the fork.

  • Yeah threaded,
    Thats what I was think, at the moment there is a thin plastic washer.

    Sounds a little contradictory - perhaps the thread on the steerer isn't long enough?
