I have changed the stem on my 2014 Genesis Volant. As a result I now have a very slight looseness through the headset and I don't know why. It was not there before the change (so it is not the bearing wear). Nor is it like that Volkswagen ad, where something else is loose. The only different I can find is that the depth of the collar on the new stem is just over 3.5 cms long whereas the other one was just under 4cms long. The difference is not enough to add another spacer nor does it affect screwing the top cap. I know on old bikes, you sometimes had to push something back up from between the forks to re attach but nothing falls out on new bikes so I assume that is now redundant.
Suggestions please you knowledgeable people.
