Ignore the creaking/poping, that's coming from where my derailleur cable housing goes into the frame and rubs.
Tldr
1 Noise can be heard only when front is lifted
2. Tried messing with the top cap to see if that would fix it but it didn't.
3. The steering is fine, it feels smooth and it's not sluggish.
The noise from the headset cant be heard if the tire is on the ground, probably because the rubbing of the tire is louder.
Should I be worried about the headset noise ?
Tried tightening and loosening the top cap. It didn't fix it. I began noticing it after messing with the top cap(noticed some knocking but found out it was from my fork's right leg, the left one is fine but the right has a bit of play only when I squeeze the brake and rock it back and forth, I know it's not good and I will send it to a bike service shop once the holidays are over), could've been there before but I could have just not payed attention to it. The steering is fine it doesn't feel bad.
Does this noise mean there is little to no grease in the headset or is it something worse ?
