Threaded headset adjustment - before I start.....
... a couple of quick questions.
My recently aquired (last night) MBK Amateur has a 1" threaded headset that is ´sticky´at the straight ahead position i.e. it doesn´t want to turn away from straight on.
Am I right in thinking that the headset is likely to be overtightened? It´s Shimano 105.
Would the Park Tool headset adjustment viideo be a good place to look before I start unscrewing stuff?
I thought I would break with tradition and actually ask for advice before I start wrenching on a bit of the bike.
Thanks in advance!
