Hi

 

Um eks half skaam om dit te se,maar ek het gisteraand n korter stem op my pad fiets gesit en ek dink ek het effens k@k aangevang!!!

 

Ek het al dit boudjies styf vas gedraai maar daar is groot (10mm +) speeling op die vurk en raam!!!

 

Ek het als weer los gemaak en toe als weer vas gemaak maar nogsteeds is daar speeling.

 

 

Waar het ek op geslip??

 

Enige en alle advies sal baie Waardeur word!!!!!

[Mr Mulebar]

Is the height of the stem clamp identical to your previous one?

 

 

 

Did you tighten the topcap bolt?

I think the clamp inside the steerer tube has moved and now it is not tightening the whole unit.  Could be wrong though

Evo, ek is seker jy kan dit in 2 minute reg maak. Jy het seker net nie die stem bolt styf genoog gedraai nie. Dit is die bout wat jy van bo-af sien wat in die vurk ingaan. Jy draai dit stadid stywer terwyl jy voel of die vurk nog maklik draai en dat speling weg gaan. Dan eers draai jy die stem se boude vas.

Hier is nog 'n "online" les (deur Park Tool), maar jy behoort reg te kom met die Bicycle Tutor les wat Mampara gegee het.

 

 

 

 

Headset Adjustment - Threadless Type

 

 

 

Threadless headsets work on the same principal as threaded headsets. The bearing races need to press against the bearings. The bolt in the top cap will put pressure on the stem, which presses on washers below the stem, which press on the bearing races, which press against the bearings.

 

NOTE: The cap and bolt at the top of the stem do not secure the stem onto the steering column. The bolt or bolts on the side of the stem keep the stem from moving once the adjustment is made. The cap is used for bearing adjustment only.

 

 

 

Begin by removing the adjusting bolt in the center of the steering column. Next, remove the top cap. There may be a star-shaped nut or other fittings inside the steering column. The bolt threads into this fitting and pulls on the fork against the headset bearing surfaces, which acts to tighten the adjustment. Note the height of the steering column relative to the stem. It should be about 3mm (1/8") below the level of the stem. The stem needs to press down on the spacers in order to adjust the bearings. If the steering column is level with the top of the stem, another spacer is needed below the stem.

 

Remove bolt and top cap to inspect steering column. Lubricate adjusting bolt and re-install cap and bolt by hand only. DO NOT TIGHTEN.

 

Loosen stem bolt(s) that secure stem to the steering column. Lubricate these bolts if they are dry. NOTE: DO NOT LUBRICATE INSIDE STEM OR ON STEERING COLUMN SURFACE.

 

Wiggle the stem side to side to see that it is loose. If the stem is jammed or rusted frozen to the steering column, no adjustment can be made.

 

Align stem straight to wheel and gently secure the top bolt. Stop when any resistance is felt.

 

Tighten stem bolt(s).

 

Check for play by pulling back and forth on fork. Turn the handlebars in different directions while checking for play. There may be play at this early setting. Use care when grabbing suspension forks, because the legs may have play. Grab upper portion of fork.

 

To adjust bearings, LOOSEN STEM BOLT(S).

 

Turn adjusting bolt in center cap only 1/8th turn clockwise.

 

Secure stem bolts, check for play again.

 

Repeat adjustments as above until play disappears. Remember to loosen stem bolts before turning adjusting bolt in cap.

 

Check alignment of stem and tighten stem binder bolts fully.

 

NOTE: Another test of play is to place the bike on ground and grab the front brake tightly. Press downward on the handlebars and rock the bike forward and back. A knocking sensation may indicate a loose headset. In effect this does the same thing as grabbing and pulling on the fork. However, play in the brake caliper arms may also cause a knocking. Front suspension forks may also have play in the legs, which can cause a knocking.If the adjustment seems very tight, there may be other problems in the headset. Bearing surfaces may be worn out, or the ball bearing retainers may be upside down, or a seal may be improperly aligned. If play always seems present no matter the adjustment, the steering column may be too long for the stem and top cap. Add spacers beneath stem in this case.

Baie dankie vir al die advies!!!

 

Ek weet nou waar ek op geslip het.

Ek het die stem op gesit.gekyk dat als reguit is.die stem vrek styf gedraai.toe die top bolt in gesit en dit styf vas gedraai.

 

 Ek moes eers die top bolt vas draai en dan die stem.

 

lol so leer n mens!!

 

Weereens baie dankie!!

Moenie daai boude "vrek styf" vasdraai nie. Net styf genoeg sodat dit nie te maklik beweeg nie.
