Hello. On the way into work this morning I went over he handlebars pretty hard - not in a cinematic Joseph Gordon-Levitt way, more like braked-too-hard-wheel lifts-panic-get-tangledup-in-myhandlebars kind way.
Anyway this made the headset really loose and my normal tightening procedure did nowt to rectify it. I went at it again by banging the handlebars harder and putting my full weight on for a while and tightening the stem. I had to repeat this about 4 times and now it seems its back to 'normal'. Well kindoff- when holding the front brake and rocking the bike I felt a couple of 'notches' but they finally disappeared after a few rocks. There is no binding when turning the handlebars so should I guess it's ok? I'm worried because I've never had to redjust the headset repeatedly like that.
If the steerer was bent would it tighten ata all?
Thanks
