Recently I had to replace a threaded fork, which I did with the help of a
bike mechanic. But I can't quite seem to get it perfect. If I tighten the
headset too loosely, the fork wobbles. If i just tighten the headset enough
to eliminate the wobble, then the headset will be a bit too tight and the
fork won't rotate as freely as I would like- for example I can't ride "no
hands". It's either one or the other, no matter what I do. My mechanic had
me replace the bearings container with just packed bearings in grease (with
2 removed). Could this be making the difference? Is there anything else I
should do?
