first thing to do, make sure you havn't just preloading the headset wrong, so retry. to do this, loosen stem bolts (and upper crown bolts if you have triple clamps) then tighten the head adjuster (the bolt on top of the stem) so that its tight, but you can turn the forks with ease. Then, tighten up the stem and upper crown so the head set bearing remain preloaded.
if you still have play, its hard to diagonose over a forum but your headset has gone. take it down to local bike shop and see what they say. |

| stem lock won't fix the problem, unless the problem is the hollow star nut isn't gripping the headtube. and chances are he preloaded the headset bearing wrong. |

| posting false info in tech in bannable as it can result in people being mislead, and a stem lock 'might' fix it, but chances are it won't. |
