TEST 2 – you can also hold the handlebars and top tube loosely and gently bounce the front wheel on a
concrete surface (the tire must be inflated). you will hear a hollow vibration if there is any play (ignore the
sounds of vibrating cables, etc.).
you can also discover play by slightly lifting the front wheel off the ground and turning the handlebars from
left to right. if there is play, you will notice that it doesn't turn smoothly.
if you do notice that there is play:
A – For a classic headset:
1 – loosen the locknut.
2 – tighten the top race while tightly holding the fork so it does not turn.
3 – tighten until the play has disappeared.
4 – check to see if the headset turns correctly now.
5 – While holding the top race in place, tighten the locknut.
6 – check again that the headset can turn smoothly.
When adjusting your headset, you must use headset wrenches. do not use ordinary open-ended wrenches
as this may result in damage to the locknut and top race.
B – For threadless headsets:
1 – adjustment of threadless headsets only requires an allen wrench.
2 – loosen the bolts in the stem (a).
3 – tighten the bolt in the top cap until play has been eliminated (B).
4 – re-tighten bolts in the stem (a).
