Your comments are unseemly, inappropriate and totally out of line.
If you decided just to poke people with a stick, maybe you should reconsider.............
And for the record I have done head bearings a few times over the past 46 years of riding and I'd agree with Madhattr.

Now, let's get back on track please.

 

Considering that the bearings can still be loose without any visual movement, your described test is worthless. All it does is determine if you're completely off, and doesn't account for being possibly somewhat off. Since it leaves a pretty notable margin of unacceptable error that will still destroy your bearings over time and result in instability... I'd say you two DEFINITELY don't know what you're talking about.

The only way to do the job right is elevating the front forks and moving them. Grabbing the brakes and staring at the nut to see if it wiggles is a waste of time and will result in missing a significant amount of unacceptable tolerance.

So you two may have done this job before, but you wasted time on this step, which by itself is completely worthless and given the correct process does a better job... then it's again, completely without contributing value to fixing the problem.


You should definitely stop telling other people of this technique, and you should reconsider this technique for yourselves as well. In no way is this a useful technique, and by itself it's not an acceptable means for checking the steering steam bearings.

 

This has nothing to do with whether your system is right or wrong - it has to do with your disrespect of another member
Perhaps you should consider how you talk to other members of the forum.

 

 

yayyyyy hes banned!!!!!!!!!
