Dan6061 Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Any internal headset. Hang on...you said it's loose..so you're buying a new one Just loosen the stem bolts, do up the top cap bolt a bit, until the forks don't wobble when you hold the front end up and shake it (sorta) And then do the stem bolts up again. Wheyyyy. Sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Dan speaketh the truth. The Cane Creek ZS2s tend to be loosey goosey for a while when you first get them, but that's just the bearings bedding in. If your top-cap is as tight as it can go and there's still play, you may need to fire a stem-stacker in the mix. You don't need to buy a new headset 'cos your's is loose though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzo Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Check the star nut in the forks, it might have come lose/right to the top and therefor isn't tightening up. There is no point in buying a new headset if the one you have now is just loose.Make sure you have a fair bit of space between the top of the fork tube and the top of the stem, common problem is that there isn't enough room and so when people tighten them up its ineffective because the forks cannot be pulled up, if this is the case you need a spacer which you can get from any bike shop, they cost about 50 pence.Are you sure that its actually lose? If you put the bike on two wheels, hold the front brake in and touch the cap of the headset (the ring that says 'onza' on it) if you feel that moving as you rock the bike back and forth, then yes it needs tightening.As stupid as it may sound, I've had people add me on msn asking for help because their forks were 'loose', when it actually turned out to be a bit of play in the brake pads, or just the tire.

Mark W Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Don't forget that just holding the front brake on and rocking it won't work super well 'cos the play from the brake pads/brake/wheel will also make it 'give' a little. You can also put your finger on the gap between the race on the forks and the bottom cup, 'cos you can feel the movement between the two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvtrial Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Doesn't the CK works? If it does, I would say GO FOR A CHRIS KING! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 There's one type of CK headset they do that isn't for regular headtubes, the Perico (or something like that...), and that might be internal instead of integrated. Or integrated instead of internal - headset names f**k me up Either way, it's not a standard headtube on a T-Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 If it goes too tight, just loosen it off a little.The seal shouldn't make a huge difference, I killed mine too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
