Evening All,
Just swapped over to a longer stem on the Yeti.
Did it in the following order:
1. remove handbar using star method of undoing bolts
2. Loosened and removed preload bolt
3. Loosened stem bolts
Slotted in new stem, exactly the same make and model just 15mm longer.
1. Added handlebar and tightened alternating in star method the bolts.
2. Inserted and tightened the preload bolt.
and here is the query..
As I was doing up the preload bolt, I heard a single snap sound. The bolt wasnt particularly tight. So I stopped.
Checked for any movement in headset whilst on a workstand and no movement can be felt.
So continued and then aligned the bars with the front wheel and tightened the stem bolts.
So could I have done some damage resulting in the headset snap noise?
Supposed to be riding Sat or should I get LBS to have a look?
Rgds
