Poenster Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 I have a GT Avalanche 2.0 MTB, and the headset is loose... Is there a way that I can tighten it? Do I need special tools or should I just take it to a shop so they can sort it out...? Thanks!
Dicky DQ Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 If it is still OK, then:loosen the stem boltsTighten the thingy on the top of the steerer tube untill the headset is tight enoughFinaly retighten the Stem bolts. all done. Oh yes make sure the bars are strait.

dirtrider Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Do you tighten the wheelnuts on your car with your hands ? An Allen Key will do the trick .
Thug Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 PM me you email addy & I'll forward an article from the April 2007 issue of Mountain Bike Action entitled "How to Adjust your Headset"
