Someone has asked to Chris?
Mine had quite a bit of play in the steerer.
The issue was that the headset topcap was fouling on the headtube and not actually compressing the ring on the bearing - so the steerer was essentially loose against the top bearing. Managed to fix this with a few microshims between the topcap and the compression ring (though I needed to cut out a slot to let the integrated cabling through) and hasn't been an issue since.
I think somebody had a similar issue and describes the same fix in earlier pages so i wouldn't be surprised if this was a pretty common issue.
