Heres an easy one, I have a Scott CR1, and have noticed under heavy breaking and accelerating that my headset at the top is creaking.

Holding the front brakes on, and rocking the bike back and forth, the headset moves, literally a fraction of a mm, but enough for it to creak!

Going to sound really dumb, but how do I tighten it to remove the slight play?

Thanks guys and Girls :D:D

    Hey! Was getting clunking too specially downhill, going over bumps etc. Checked for movement like the man said and could'nt believe the amount of freeplay. I checked for looseness before but did'nt pick it up. Anyway tightened everything up as per vid in the works car park then done 34 miles over the Lammermuirs and back to celebrate. Thanks Ye All! :oops: :lol: 8) :wink: :roll: :twisted:
