Lovely bikes as youve probably already worked out! i loved mine until it got nicked
Yeah, its going well so far! Just back from a ride out this morning, i was picking up on something lose at the front end whilst riding so have just investigated, it is the forks 'wobbling around' inside the frame (there is a very small amount of clearance and the forks shake). Whilst this is very slight i was wondering if it was normal or if i need to do something to sort it. I have had the bars off and had a good lok around, but there doesn't seem to be anything i can do apart from ensure the stem is pushed down as tight as possible before tightening.
Was yours like this?
P.S. What have you got now?
Mine got nicked the night after i went to the TCR, managed to get a decent insurance payout, SBR were absolutely brilliant by the way, so im waiting for a TREK Madone 4.5 to come in, i needed a pick me up after the start to the year ive had!!!!! (and its blue)
Id get the forks checked out as the last thing you want is the front end coming away at 30kph, that thumb might get stuck for good! Might be worth getting a good service done before the season starts.
Great bike though the 1 series great value
It will give you peace of mind and as mentioned before may prevent an accident. I personaly like Trek bikes, there great.
Hi agent_ti
Headset loose.....can you explain further.....i'm very familiar with a tool box. i think i should be able to handle this but like i said before, i couldn't spot anything obvious when i took the bars off to have a nose around.
What do i need to tighten?
Basically if your headset isnt tight enough, then there will be some play in the forks which will make them loose and allow them to wobble a bit, which i think it what your describing. If it isn't, or you do this and it doesnt work, then take it to your bike shop
thank you so much!
Just watched the vid and fixed in a matter of min's. I was fixing the stem BEFORE the cap (or whatever the top part is called). So it stands to reason that i couldn't get it right!
You've just single handedly restored my faith in this forum.....thanks again!
Glad to help! [:D]
