Title: VB-TT-023 bars and headset help.
Post by: womble73 on January 12, 2025, 10:23:16 PM

Hi All,

I am having trouble getting the bars on my VB-TT-023 to be tight enough to take weight. They are slipping inside the headset. Are there any suggestions on what I should do to fix this?
Have torqued it right up and put in carbon grip paste. Still not good.

I know others just replaced the bars and I am willing look into that as an option.
Keen to hear all thoughts on the best way forward.

Thanks

It appears I may have asked the question too soon:

I tightened from the front of the bike to the back and it seems much better.
- Front two screws under the headset.
- Top two behind the bars.
- Then the headset screw to complete.

I will have it double checked by another person to ensure there is no movement.
 
My only other issue is on the brake leavers end I don't have enough flex in the cable to move more than a a bit over an inch so the brake lines need to be cut off right at the exit out of the bars.
