innocent question here, doesnt this make riding without hands impossible? Just seems kinda weird to have something interfering with the steering slightly.
I couldn't say. I've never been too successful at riding no hands, and the headset is literally the only part other than the fork that I haven't replaced on this bike. After putting about 2500 miles on the cheap old headset in it, I can really tell its worn out now, so I wouldn't dare try riding no hands on it right now. Maybe someone more knowledgeable will chime in.
