Hiya,
I couldn't find exactly what I'm experiencing so I thought I'd post a new thread since I'm new to fixed gears and need exact input.
I received my Angus two weeks ago (awesome bike!). The headset (Chris King and threaded stem) had already been installed and wasn't loose so I thought nothing of it. Last week, the headset was really loose and wobbly so I tightened it with a spanner wrench -to the point where the handle bars wouldn't turn if I picked up the front, but wasn't stiff, either. Just now, after a few rides, the wobble has returned! Is this normal? I am riding the rough Manhattan roads, so could that be the cause?
Thank you all for viewing.
