- Does anyone have info on how to properly adjust the pressure on the
- bearing on an AheadSet head set? The way I see it, you tighten the
- cap down on the stem until you get the right force and then tighten
- the stem bolts. The question is how do you know when you have the
- right level of pressure?
-
- As a bit of an aside, how do people out there feel about this design.
- I like it in concept since its relatively minimal. However, it seems
- sort of limiting in terms of height adjustment (range of about 1 cm?).
- The other thing is that if you have to turn you bars for some reason
- (shipping, accident...) you have to readjust your headset bearings (or
- at least check them).
-
- What are your perceptions of its advantages?
