Title: Loose bearing
Post by: BeR on December 24, 2025, 10:00:02 AM

One of my friends has a loose bearing on his new frame.

Do you find it acceptable ? Or It can be dangerous

I wouldn’t run as is.  Loctite has products that can take the gap

Then the cone part will be your only lod bearing surface, not ideal I would and I wouldn’t be suprised that you get some knocking even though you don’t feel play in Headset. Loctite 660-680 if memory serves are the right fit for application
