    hi all, 

     

    Has anyone had experience with setting the preload on the Supersix Evo?  I’m having real problems with play in the headset of my frameset after a short period of time (less than 10 miles).  I’m running the max length of steerer allowed at the moment (55mm) until I get fitted properly.  

    The 55mm is frankly ridiculous so have ran tried it with 10mm and 15mm above the stem but with all 3 options I still end up with the same issue.

    i’ve torqued the bung up to spec and then tightened the cap to set the preload but it never tightens the headset to the point I tightening the steering  up and it looks like the top cap is deforming so am concerned I will do damage.

     

    Any ideas?

    Is the bung close enough to

    Is the bung close enough to the top cap to let it screw in properly to eliminate play, and are you tightening to the right spec (ie using a torque wrench to do it)?

    Can’t say I’ve had issues with mines before (apart from dropping the bung all the way down the steerer and spending 20 minutes fishing it out!)
