NS help needed!!! Fork/headset problem

(1/2) > >>

WINI:
Just got a set of WTP forks back from SBD (superb job as always), and fit them to my Subrosa DTT with an FSA Impact headset.  Everything seemed to fit fine but when I tightened it all up, there is still some very noticable play in the headset.  Any ideas guys? Help me!!!  :-\

Betty:
Have you enough spacers on Mark?

Tighten the top cap down then undo it and have a look if the top of the fork steerer is flush with the top of the stem, if so bung another spacer in  :daumenhoch:

WINI:
New I could rely on you mate  :daumenhoch:

Its flush at the moment, just been to the LBS to get some spacers so I'll try another small one

Cheers bud

TwoBobRob:
Be sure the stem sits higher than the steerer by a good couple of mm to allow future adjustments and take a close look at the top cap too. some of them have a lip and sit slightly inside the stem so you have to take that into account too  ;)

WINI:
Cheers rob, got it sorted now. Pushed the stem down hard against the spacers before tightening and it seems to have done the job  :daumenhoch:
