Getting a recurring headset loooooseness on my new-to-me cross bike.
i've tried resetting it numerous times and it won't hold. not sure if i'm missing something or if it actually needs to be replaced. i am (at least) loosening the pinch bolts, loosening the stem bolt, then tightening that, then the pinch bolts after, so that's the correct procedure as far as i know.
pictures to follow - the dust cap that sits directly above the steering tube is not seating 100% so that's my first suspect, but I don't know well enough to say that's it. Hopefully the hive mind can help me solve this without buying new parts.
