Hey again all
I had a cracked front fork a week or two ago on my old racebike. Anyway, the bike doctor found a replacement one somewhere in his archive. However, it was a bit too high. I sawed the threaded top off it so it resembled the old fork, although I didn't have the old fork for reference at the time so it's a bit taller (like a cm or something)
The bike doctor then gave me a spacer to put between it.
Everything ready, I reassembled the fork and everything and now I can't get the perfect adjustment anymore. If I tighten the adjustable race enough so the wheel moves freely left and right then tighten the locknut and steer up, the steer tube rattles when I hold in the front brake and move it forward a bit (as I've been taught to test it)
If I tighten the adjustable race up more so the steer tube doesn't rattle anymore, there's not enough play in the front wheel anymore.
It's like there's no perfect adjustment no matter what I try.
Any clue on what could be wrong?
