shai Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I had a set of blue Maxy Cross cranks on an old track bike of mine. They were okay, but finding a 49t chainring was a hassle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdoughnut69 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Any of you guys got a suggestion for this slight (1/8") looseness in my headset? The neck was off-center when I pulled it out the box so I loosened the stem bolt and the 2 side blots on the neck, centered the neck, then tightened everything up and it has that 1/8" play (when I begin to raise the front wheel off the ground, you feel the headset shift slightly inward). Is there a pattern to tightening the stem/neck bolts that may have caused this? Or do I gotta go at the headset assembly under the neck?

bigdoughnut69 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I figured it out. I originally tightened all the bolts on the neck (Side bolts & compression bolt) little by little instead of torquing the compression first, then the 2 side bolts(How it should be done). When I tried loosening everything up, I tried to loosen the compression first and snapped the allen wrench in two pieces. Lesson learned.
