My forks are vibrating when i brake looks like the headset is worn you can see movement at the bottom headset crown.
I currently have an FSA No.57B which i think is 1 1/8 1.5" it's a tapered steerer. These are £40 on crc any suggestions on a cheaper alternative not sure on which is the correct headset to get.Thanks.

    Have you taken it apart to actually check?

    Can't you replace the bearings?

    Cups rarely wear (at least not in the space of one set of bearings), so are you sure you’re adjusting it correctly?
