Headset DOH

[tjf67]

I have a question. How do you get stuff in your headset? My bike is a 00 hollowpoint. It get used about 20 times a summer and I have never had any problems like that.

I dont tinker with it unless I have to. The only think I have replaced is break pads. Twice.

As far as washing it unless it grinding I leave it alone. I clean the chain when necessary but that isnot often. Seems the more lube you put on the chain the quicker it accumulated grit. Mostly I run it dry

I tend to just keep the moving pivots clean. Damp cloths...I'll make thin strips and "floss" tight areas. Less is more approach. I do keep the drivetrain clean and well-lubed. I've never had any real problems with maintenance of parts....other than just demolishing them from riding.
