I kept hearing a creaking/popping noise from around my headset over the past few rides. I just raced at massanutten and didn't notice it too much..probably because of the sound of all the rocks bouncing off of my down tube
so i take my bike (2007 Uzzi VPX) apart for a good overhaul and to try and find the source of the noise but while trying to tap out the bearing race in the lower cup of my headset, the lower headset cup just falls out! i checked the cup and it looks fine but the bottom part of my headtube is all warped looking on the inside.
i suppose i'm screwed...the HT is already reamed pretty deap and i have a deep cup headset in already.
i hope i can find something relatively inexpensive soon as i had planned on taking lil manimal to snowshoe for the first time on opening weekend (and this may be our last summer living on this side of the country).
anybody have any input on a 2007 marin quake 7.3? i found an interbike display frame that hasn't been ridden for a pretty decent price. does intense have a crash replacement deal? i'd love to snag a SS2...but my budget is pretty slim
