Ow! Ubbgre!

[Just zis Guy, you know?]

Riding home in glorious Sunshine[tm] (imported from Foregn Climes,
must of been) and noticed a slight slackness in the steering, so I
checked the headset and found it slightly loose.

Method for checking headset:

- park bike on propstand
- stand straddling boom of bike, facing back of bike, keeping legs
clear of mucky chainy bits
- clamp wheel between feet
- wiggle steerer from side to side
- plant leg on Incredibly Hot Disc Rotor
- swear immoderately
- tighten headset
- ride on.

Owowowowow!

You shouldn't brake so much and then it wouldn't have been hot ;-)

<snigger> knowing how you swear, I'm surprised I didn't hear it at work
today ;-)

I've done similar when looking at a customers car, they'll be showing me
their obviously siezed brake, and of course I'll go and stick my hand on
the shiny chrome wheel nuts......
