!!!Putting bike together problem!!!
« on: May 15, 2008, 11:26:40 PM »
Ok I just got my Luna and well it looks amazing but that's not the point...

When I install my Integrated headset the fork wobbles a ton when I move the bike back and forth. I've never had this problem before, What is wrong? I am almost 100% sure I put the int headset on right because I just took it off put it on my new set up.


EDIT!!! I tightened the compression bolt and there's no wobble at all. I guess I thought it wasn't supposed to wobble right after you put the int headset in. Thanks Johnny and Pat

Make sure that the bearings are flush in the frame and that the setup is compressed enough.  When you install your compression bolt, you want to tighten until there is no wiggle room in the bearings (having it too tight is still bad, try to get it right on the money).

Should I push down on the headset top cap or the piece right before that? Will tightening the bolt get rid of alot of the wobble?
