Scrod,
Got my LBS to install an FSA Orbit-X headset for me and when I got the bike back the steering was very stiff, wheel would not turn freely.
I adjusted it and loosened it a bit but it seems like maybe it's supposed to be stiff because of the new grease? I think I read that someplace?
Reason I ask is because in order for me to adjust it to the point where it can turn freely, it has to be right on the cusp of having slack. like 1/8th or 1/16th of a turn and it's got slack.
In short - are new headsets stiff/tight for a bit?
