    Hi there, just done a quick search and found you had the same problem as me. Did you figure out what was causing the wobble to your steerer tube?

    Thanks

    It will be the headset as above. Check bearings, then preload it again. Remember to loosen the stem bolts, then preload the headset, and tighten the stem back up again.
