I have a couple of questions about headsets.
1. when i spin my front wheel by lifting the bike by the frame and hold the front brake really fast, my bike kind of vibrates near the headset. also, im not sure if this is my brakes or the headset, but when i brake hard with my front brake while going fast, i feel like my headset is moving, or as if there was a rock or a bump on my brake pads. are those signs of a loose headset? BUT i tried the holding the front of my bike and rocking it and it seems pretty solid.
2. how tight does the top bolt on the headset have to be? does it have to be as tight as you can turn it? if not, about how many turns from tightest?
thanks in advance
