my Dolmite 6 has play between forks and head set under breaking. Is this just the way they are? I tightened up the bolt a tad over recommended to make sure it just wasn't too loose and it's exactly the same. I seem to remember an old MTB with disc brakes doing the same thing.
sorted now pals.
No, play leads to damage. Damage leads to cracks. Cracks lead to crash. Crash leads to suffering.
You may have a frame or fork with misaigned bearing races.
But make sure that you haven't OVER-tightened the headset! (You should still be able to turn the bars freely without any significant friction.)sorted now pals.
