Thanks for the advice, I've just checked the bike over and all above feels fine, I'm off out for a ride now, when I'm back I will try to describe it on more detail, it's deffo not head bearings, my old Mtb has loose bearings and you can feel the movement through the bars. Maybe I'm just feeling more of the road surface than I'm used to, it's the first "proper" bike I've ever owned, who knows eh, well I will update later today unless of course the wheel falls off! Haha wish me luck
