I think there’s something wrong with my Brompton’s headset? Recently brought it for powder coating and I believe the re-assembly may not have been good?
I rode it for the first time today after receiving back my Brompton and here’s what I found:
- The bike drifts a lot to one side when turning
- Steering feels different than before and less natural
- I also tried my partner’s Brompton and could definitely feel the difference, mine’s like it’s harder to control especially when it’s in high speeds and it doesn’t “self centre” if that make sense.
Any idea what might be the issue here? Headset too tight/loose or could it be the stock headset’s bearish alr damaged?
Also, is upgrading to the Chris King headset worth it? Seen many riders on Instagram with it but curious if there’s a significant improvement vs the stock headset.
