My setup (keep in mind I'm a mechanics idiot)
I have a 05 ASX (1.5 headtube) and am using a 04 Super T (1-1/8) with a FSA Pig headset.
I developed some play in the headset today while riding. When I came home I noticed that when I turned the fork I could hear the grinding of dirt in the headset area. I removed the bolt which runs down the steer tube and pulled the fork out of the headtube. I whipped everything down. Upon reassembly I had some minor issues getting everything back together tightly. Being the mechanical dolt that I am, I overtightened the bolt into the starnut (thinking it would help pull everything together) and ripped the center of the starnut right out..
So I'm asking for a few things. The headset I'm using.. is it a 1.5 sized headset with some kind of reducer to fit the Super T fork? If I needed to purchase a new headset I would go for the 1.5 size?
I've read about the Azonic Headlock?, should I bang out the old starnut and use the headlock?
