adjustable, or headset wrench and hold the upper threaded
race in place. Figure 4.23
❹ Loosen the locknut clockwise about 1/32nd of a turn.
Note: The front wheel must be straight to gauge adjustment.
❺ By hand, screw the upper threaded race down until bearings
begin to bind. Then back the race off about 1/8 turn.
❻ Tighten the locknut and test that there is no shakiness or
stiffness (ie. play) in the headset. Repeat steps 3 - 6 until
there is no play in the headset.
If the play in the headset cannot be rectified with these
adjustments see a qualified bicycle mechanic for these repairs.
