Title: loose headset?
Post by: Corrupted account on June 30, 2010, 10:28:42 PM
all my parts are stock on my KHE Militant ff but my new stem/bar combo. I put them on and now my headset is loose. I have taken it apart about 50 times and each time it is still loose. I even regreased it. I also have 2 spacers on it, anymore and it seems like it wouldn't have enough space for the stem/bars. Any help??

You want there to be some room between the top of the fork and the top of the stem. The stem should be at the very least, a little bit higher than the fork so that proper compression can take place.
