Interestingly, the 5/32" bearing cages I had didnt sit in the cup like they do in image 6, they were closer to the fork steerer tube but thats sort of irreleavnt now Ive put the individual bearings in as they sit within the cup as pictured.

Ruling out being over tight as Im 99% sure its not - which way round should the lower plastic seal go? Im fairly sure when I removed it the flat face faced the Crown Race and the 'stepped' side faced the bearings, which is how Ive reassembled it. Thats what it looks like here, although mine is...

Yeah, made sure I used plenty. All the other bases are covered too which is why I suspect wear. Its quieten down enough now for it not to be a huge issue with the additional bearings in but may get the LBS to give it a once over for their opinion on what's what.

Re: Thanks - will take a look!

No, binned the old bearings and cages and have replaced with new bearings without cages. Have added the 2 additional bearings I removed to fill the cup and it has improved so suspect worn headset is probably part of it.

I havent over tightened it, thats the first thing I checked, however you might be right about the bearings. I just bought the cheapest packs from SJS so there is every chance they arent of the highest quality. Or the headset is worn out, of course.

Re: Small update... Rest of the parts turned up over the last couple of days so got to work. Unfortunately the guide pin for the new chain snapped whilst putting it in! My chain tool is knackered now so off to the local bike shop before I can get the gears cabled up. Its not mint by any...

Ive stripped my recently purchased 95 Stumpjumper down to give it a good clean and regrease. I stripped the Dia Compe Aheadset and cleaned all the components, binning the existing bearing races (first mistake :roll: ) Ive now put it all back together and it sounds terrible, almost as if the...

Re: Thanks. After a bit more digging I realised it was a standard 5/32 so have ordered replacements.

Came as part of a bar & stem package but I wont use them. Used but maybe of use to someone. £14 posted?

Thanks - will give you a shout if Minifreaks cant help :thumbsupemoji:

Thanks! I cant reply to PM's yet as still a newbie but if you include your e-mail address Ill contact you that way.

Re: Re: They are definitely not what I expected! But Im hoping someone may put them to good use on a catalogue build or similar. Thanks both for the replies! Rob

So in stripping down my bike I've somehow managed to lose the spring from my rear derailleur barrel adjuster :facepalm: Does anyone have one spare? Or a complete barrel adjuster if thats easier? Its an M737 if that makes a difference. Rob

These came as part of a combo with bar & stem but I doubt Ill use them. Struggling to find much about them! Any idea on what I should be looking to sell them for? Rob

Re: Gaz - Im too new here so cant reply to your PM! PM me your e-mail address and Ill contact you that way. Cheers, Rob
