Ah, thanks for all the detailed information.
Now pardon me quickly, but it's true enough that I've been spinning the cranks much more than the hex wrench. I've heard the phrase "to pre-load the headset" before, but I really haven't been able gather much more on what it means besides that it's some sort of force exerted on the headset (I know, real specific). How can I take care to properly pre-load the setup next time so that this doesn't occur again, and what is pre-loading, anyway? My appreciation.
