The headset bearing adjustment should be checked every month. This is
important as it is the headset which locks the fork into the frame, and if
loose, can cause damage or result in an accident. While standing over the
frame top tube with both feet on the ground, apply the front brake firmly
and rock the bicycle back and forth; if you detect any looseness in the
headset, it will need adjustment. Check that the headset is not over tight
byslowlyrotatingtheforktotherightandleft.Iftheforktendstostickor
bind at any point, the bearings are too tight.

qualified specialist for repairs and adjustments.
