    Had to adjust mine and this video prevented me from going about the job wrongly. Adjusted just enough to remove that slack. Was surpriced to learn that there was no big nut like on motorbikes

    I would shorten the fork with that many spacers but it’s personal preference 🤷🏻‍♂️

    • @tedjohansen6535
      @tedjohansen6535 Před rokem +2

      Fork length is about rider fitment, not aesthetics. Not like he had spacers on top of the stem

    Still have a minor play in HeadCap. Is this fine? If I tighten the extender screw further then steering starts showing noticeable resistance. Please help.

    Take the top cap off and make sure the fork stem is below the headset 1/8" to 1/4".
    If it stem and head set is flush it will not tighten.
    No room for the stem to move upward.

    I have the same problem on my YT Jeffsy and I know this methode but everytime I fix this issue, after some riding I also have to fix it because I have this problem again and again and. I don't know why, this was also a problem with may previous bike. I do stoppies and wheelies but a lot of people do so I don't think this is the reason. Pls help!!

    • @AnotherMrLizard
      @AnotherMrLizard Před 7 dny

      Check you actually have a gap between the top of the stem or spacers and the steerer. You need at least a 3mm gap for everything to compress.

    Why you can't over tighten the top cap?.

    • @tedjohansen6535
      @tedjohansen6535 Před rokem

      It "tensions" the bearings, so if it's overtightened the balls in the bearings will be squeezed so tightly in the bearing tracks ("races") that they will wear out very quickly (and might not spin at all)

    You have too many spacers, just use two at the most.
