What size headset for rockhopper?

roubaixtom

I have a 2008 specialized rockhopper that I have completely stripped and now rebuilding.

One thing that is confusing me is what headset i need. Some advice would be great.

Also, my front avid juicy 3 brake is leaking on the back of housing next to the leaver. Why could this be?

Lastly the hub on the rear wheel is moving from side to side about 1 cm which is effecting gear shifting. Is there any way I can tighten this?

Thanks

Is there any identifying marks on the headset? is one of two types, Specialized for a while used a very odd campagnolo style 'hiddenset'.

Sounds like a leaky seal in the lever.

You can adjust the cones on the rear hub with the right tools - have a look at Park Tools website for a guide. Sounds like it is knackered though and needs replacing ie a new wheel.

I wil have a look tomorrow on headset.

Is there a fix for a leaky leaver?

Depends what seal, could be the reservoir seal:

Need to try and trace the exact point of leakage.
