Also, I am trying to replace this headset before riding the bike much after a LBS owner mentioned how a loose headset can cause deformities to the headtube over time. Not sure if this applies in this case with the headset loose only to the point of feeling a bit play while holding the front brake and rocking the bike, and only while the handlebars are pointed straight forward, the most common riding position -- is this notion of damaging a frame with a slightly loose headset unfounded?
