the judge Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 It is something to worry about, your headset is loose.Undo the stem bolts>tighten the top cap>tighten the stem bolts>problem solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to just tight to it stops, not use all your muscels and push around after it has stoped! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
