Ow! Ubbgre!

[Just Zis Guy]

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......
