A – For a classic headset:
1 – Loosen the locknut.
2 – tighten the top race while tightly holding the fork so it does not turn.
3 – tighten until the play has disappeared.
4 – check to see if the headset turns correctly now.
5 – while holding the top race in place, tighten the locknut.
6 – check again that the headset can turn smoothly.
when adjusting your headset, you must use headset wrenches. do not use ordinary open-ended wrenches as
this may result in damage to the locknut and top race.

1 – Adjustment of threadless headsets only requires an Allen wrench.
2 – Loosen the bolts in the stem (A).
3 – tighten the bolt in the top cap until play has been eliminated (b).
