Conventional headset (a)
The adjustment tolerance between there being play in the bearings and them being
set too tight is very small. The bearing can easily be damaged. This is a job for a
skilled mechanic.
If you want to try it nevertheless, you need two large and flat open-end wrenches.
Release the threaded top nut and tighten the upper threaded bearing cap a little.
Retighten the top nut (b).
After the adjustment, check the bearing for play and ease of running once again.
If the headset is adjusted too tight, the performance of the bike will be
impaired and the bearings will be damaged.
Adjusting the headset requires a certain amount of experience and should
ideally be left to your local FELT dealer. If you want to adjust a conven-
tional headset, you will need special tools. If you nevertheless want to try
adjusting it yourself, please read the operating instructions of the manu-
facturer carefully before you do!
