(1/3) > >>

meticulous:
just swapped the headset on my 2007 loop quad for a new one as they was always play in the first one.
thought i would treat myself and bought a chris king one, well blow the trumpet and swallow the evidence, the same play with this new one, i cannot get the dam thing to tighten, i've tried all the obvious, knocking and banging, twisting and turning, what the fook am i doing wrong, i just dont have the patience, i'm gonna smash it up! i am! i'll do it! aghhhhhh! need some more of that dianabol! gimmi! :tickedoff:

Dingobmxer:
When all the headset parts/stem and any spacers are set up on the forks there should be a gap of about 4mm from the stem to fork top (forks finishing 4mm below stem) put the top cap on and tighten the top cap bolt first to pull everything together then tighten the stem
 :) DINGO :)

meticulous:
tried that, put a spacer in below the stem, kept the stem loose as i tightened top cap.  smash! smash! smash!
 oh well! all too late now!

Dingobmxer:
is the star washer inside the forks about 1/4" from the top?

if its right at the top it wont tighten up

 :) DINGO :)

Bigfrawg:

just what i was about to say, i had the same trouble with both of mine. i just tapped the star thingy down a bit.
