Moving spacers around to adjust fit and top half of headset popped out of place, Help
Please help! I wanted to move the spacers to raise my bars a bit for a longer ride (100km) that is coming up. When I loosened everything off and pulled up on the stem the top part of the head set came out of place. I tried to put it back but in doing so the bottom one came loose too. (not enough hands, holding bike up, holding bars, and trying to put my baby back together) I kinda got it back together but now it doesn't sit smooth with the top of the headtube and the bottom of the headset there is a small gap about 1mm, and I feel and hear a little play when I hold the front brake and wiggle the bike back and forth. The bike is a Cervelo Soloist team and the headset is a CaneCreek/FSA IS-2.
Thanks for any suggestions guys and gals,
ps. I don't really have any bike specific tools other than an allen key set
