Poenster Posted February 13, 2007 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtrider Posted February 13, 2007 Share Do you tighten the wheelnuts on your car with your hands ? An Allen Key will do the trick . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
