My fellow fettlers I have been defeated good and proper by of all things a planetx team ALU frame and forks, even with the right headset bung and spacers I could not remove the play.
I'll be going for the long walk of shame now.

... I had one of these problems some years ago.... t'was the steerer tube, the bonding 'glue' that bonded the steerer tube to the fork crown stopped bonding and when I went left/right, the bike went straight on.... mainly into the ditch or onto the oncoming trafic lane.
Needless to say I eventually fathomed it and put it to rights.....!0 -
Ha vindication seems planet-x shipped the headset with bearings that didn't fit their own frame / forks which were bought at the same time.Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.

That's really annoying when you've spent an age trying to work it out. I spent ages trying to fit a chain to Sketchley's bike. Eventually worked out they'd packaged an 8 speed chain with a 9 speed quick link. No wonder it wouldn't work.0
