Me again!
For a while now i've noticed play in my front forks but chose to ignore it with the intention of getting it looked at, but its proving difficult as cycling is my only form of Transport and I only have one bike.
My work colleague has noticed this and how bad it has become.
Ive stripped it all apart and the bearings seems fine still, but the top bearing cartridge sits slightly loose and this seems to be whats making the forks play.
Now, does this mean through my ignorance the head tube has worn down internally, and can I "pad" it out internally with say sello tape so the bearing cartridge sits snugger into I can drop it in to a LBS?
Ta!
