There is a fair chance of a coffee stop somewhere during a ride too

up to 2 hours, usually just water and an energy bar.
over that, more bars and gel packs and put some replacement powder in both bottles. Maybe a banana or some red frogs, something good to eat if it's along one.

Did I mention before that it can be hard to breath when you've got a mouthful of the dog? It's a bit chewy

Does anyone have any ideas, it's driving me crazy.

If it's not your headset or wheels then it's your fork. If it's not that, then your frame is foobar'd.
Hey Trek! Warranty my frame, biznatch!
