Al, its very likely a loose headset like mine. Its easy to check. Just undo the side bolts in the headset, then tighten up the top bolt (the one going down through the centre of the headset), then re-tighten the side bolts.
Despite the positive comments on the
Ribble, which are appreciated, I have to be honest, and say im not impressed with their mechanical work.
Between me and my mate, we've had to basically set up the gearing and brakes. OK, this is obvisouly a straight forward task to some (not me), but at the end of the day this should have been thoroughly checked my their mechanics when putting the bike together. I just get the feeling they're rushing the bikes out of the shop, due to demand, and not paying attention. Shoddy to be honest.
Its a £1000 bike. I would expect any new bike to be properly tested, let alone one so expensive.
All that said, the bike almost spot on now, and its a superb ride. And I doubt there's better for the money. Its just a shame about the mechanical side of it.
