i got the replacement frame last fall. Within 3000kms on the new frame my headset came loose again. I’ve tightened it once but I still get a small amount of play sometimes. Yes, you heard me right: sometimes. I have no idea how or why but I’m not going to tighten again until I have more play. I absolutely love this frame but I’m concerned that the design may have put too much strain on what seems to be a flimsy headset assembly.
I'm beginning to think that headset might be flawed in design
My bike is 4 years old now and the dealer I purchased from is 2000 miles away.
I'm tempted to remove the threaded insert, the pin and the locking ring, and replace the compression plug with a better one to see if I can get a tighter fit.
