Head Set Help

[steve Beech TA]

Right then



I fitted a bear trap 2 head set to a F&F Tange Hot Heart, even though its firmly tightened there is play in it, if i tighten more the play goes but the bars don't spin tried a bit inbetween but still no good.
can any one help please.

Hey Steve, where is the play? Did the bearing seat go on the forks nicely or was it loose - were you able to move it by hand? I presume the cups went into the head tube nice and tight? And also - we've all made the mistake of putting the odd race in upside down, right? Let me know how you get on, regards,
Simon

As above.  Also is the play felt in the forks or bars.  G.

Sorry should have said what a donut i had been other than, done it! i had put the bearings in up side down top and bottom

Well when i was working it out, as to how to put it together it seemed the right way to put them in, you live and learn.

Again cheers to all
