...an infant if I find out my headtube is ovalized. ![Banghead :banghead: :banghead:](/images/smilies/banghead.gif)
First off, I know the solution to my problem lies at my LBS, but I want to know what you guys think in the meantime. Hopefully someone's had the same problem, and can comfort me.![Twitch :twitch: :twitch:](/images/smilies/xtwitch.gif)
I built this guy last weekend - It's my first build, so I like to show it off (never mind the excess shifter cable - I wasn't quite finished when I took this pic).
After the maiden voyage, I noticed that my headset was a little loose. Not sloppy by any means, just a tiny bit loose. After tightening and riding 4 times, it still comes loose after any aggressive riding - bunnyhops, drops, etc. The last night, it got to the point where I was encountering excessive resistance while tightening down the cap, but things still turned smoothly - still came loose.
Since I installed the cups and crown race myself, my thought is that either the bottom cup or crown race is a little off, causing my problem. Will this cause the headset to come loose? I'll be taking it to my LBS in a day or two, but in the meantime I was hoping somebody who's had a similar problem could shed some light on this.
Thanks!
