Thanks ,Im pretty sure its all there and fitted together correctly , almost 90 per cent sure but I,m not a bike mechanic by any means .Its not that it cant be adjusted at all its just that tightening all the play out of it means stiff steering , then backing off the tightness to loosen the steering means play in the headset , cant get that balanced point . What is meant by the top cap dragging ?
