Hi

Had to take my headset apart the other day to do my forks. Now the centre screw won't do up in the threaded taper. really perplexed by this one, its not threaded and I can't see anything wrong with it.



Cheers

    So why did you undo the Head doc?

    Once fitted it stays there.

    Time to fish all the bits out of your steerer or if they have fallen out of the bottom of the steerer find them under the fridge.

    Then reassemble it and re fit it and then put your bike back together.

    Or just bin it and fit a Starflanged nut and never have this problem again.

    Teaching myself and learning the hard way.

    I have fished all the bits out and now I'm struggling to re assemble.
