Movement in my A-Head Set...
Hi guys...
I've just fitted a shorty stem to my Mountain Bike, but to my horror, now find that there's a small amount of play in the Aheadset stack.
Is it a simple matter of buying another spacer?
Cheers for any advice.......Rich :thumbup:

Do you mean that the compression nut at the top can't squeeze down on the stack, or the stem clamp wont tighten firmly?.
If it is the former, yes , you need more stack; compare the height of the clamp section to your old stem.

Thanks Michael,
I think it's the former...I'll pop into the LBS, and have a butchers at what size spacers they do....the play in the stack can't be anymore that about 1-2mm.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Cheers....................Rich
