Fix the headset, that's most likely the source of the noise.

Removed the last spacer and torqued it down. In the 5 mins it took me to do this I got drenched in sweat so I will test ride it later.

As of now there is no play. If play develops after the test ride then I will repack it with grease. I have not done that since I bought the bike.

Editted) (you really should shove some grease in there) You get to cut the steerer tube. Or, safer yet, let a shop do it. It needs to be cut , depending on your expander, about 1/8 of an inch below the top of the stem to give room to tighten the play out of the system. It's sweaty, shaky, dizzying work. I measured about 5 times and have even taken pictures of the tape measure. So I know I'm correct when I start cutting. I have an old mntn bike stem I use as a guide. I hate doing it. It stresses me out.

I prolly will not want to do it myself.


Do I put grease on both top and bottom? Should I clean the bearings before adding grease? Silly questions, but have yet to mess with it.

Put a trailer hitch on the Honda so you can haul your lawn tractor, then tour the USofA taking odd jobs along the way, a la Route 66 (but all the odd jobs being lawn mowing gigs).

Austin is going crazy right now. My daughter just moved back. When she was shopping for a place to rent, these are some of the things she and her two roommates ran into:

1. They put in their app and a deposit for a place, but were then told that someone else offered $2,000 per month over the listed rental rate so they got bumped.

2. At another place within their comfortable rent range, they were told that they would only qualify if each of them (all 25 with good paying jobs) made at least $165,000 per year for a combined household income of right at $500,000. Hard to do when you are just two years out of school. Seems their combined incomes of about $300,000 was just not enough.
