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

Yep, as expected, all I needed was a 2mm spacer...can't wait to ride it this weekend...
