Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Any ideas on this click?

I have began to notice a clicking sound coming from the headset on my Trek. I don't hear it so much when riding but when the bars are turned back and forth I hear a click that appears to be from the lower end above the fork. Any ideas?

Grease the headset or loosen it up if it is overly tight?

Your cracking me up. I just remembered my click reading his post. Well, Greased the bearings and loosened the pressure and it is fixed. Thanks for the help. And mom and dad said thanks for not tying up their time at the LBS.
