Tapered steering stem bearings?
I'm having to contsantly tighten my steering stem to control a loud clunk under heavy braking, and then the eventual anti-clunk when accelerating. Classic loose stem bearing.... but, tightening now is not fixing the clunk, and is just making the steering tighter. So I think it's time to replace the bearings. Is there a bearing and race kit available that fits the RX3?

I am too. There's no notchiness or anything, they just do the clunk/release clunk under hard braking. It's not the forks, it's definitely the steering stem. Maybe I'll take it apart and have a look. Bike was stored outside so maybe it's all rusty in there. Not sure why that would cause a clunk though.
Also, 3920 miles right now Charles. |
