Morning all,
I recently bought a Spearfish, tapered headset style frame. I noticed last week a bit of knocking from it, thought it was the saddlebag, so ignored… then yesterday I noticed it again, so took everything off, still there. Flipped the bike over and tried moving the forks and get about 1mm play on the bottom end of headset. Tried loosening/checking it all and can’t dial out the play
Not had this before, so a bit confused as to the likely cause. I’m guessing it’s possibly a missing/incorrect steerer stem crown race, or… well.. what you rekon ?
Likely to just drop it into my LBS as these fangled tapered headsets seem to be a minefield for sizes etc and let him fix it at his leisure.
