I've been doing really well on Ebay, picking up bits for the Litespeed Interim Build #2. Today, the 7410 chanrings listed as "low mileage" arrived and yes they absolutely ARE low mileage! The teeth are still shiny. And the FD that I was afraid was scratched up, but it was the cheapest complete example on Ebay - the pictures made it look FAR worse than it really is. I'm getting really stoked! Just cable stops, cables, and the extra crank bolt (7410 cranks apparently came with Titanium crank arm fixing bolts. Who knew?)
I contacted my LBS, and he'll be happy to swap the BBs "while you wait", so the stars are all aligning.....

It’s 13F and windchill 0. I know a few of my friends are actually going to ride outside. Not me, I am doing Le Tour de Zwift.

The play isn’t crazy. If I hold the front brake and rock the bike there’s a clicking/ popping noise coming from the head set. Not sure if new bearings would fix the problem, or if there is something wrong with the head tube.

damn.
My winter rides I don’t typically hydrate much. Kind of hard to drink through a face mask, when it’s super cold I don’t want to pull it down for it will be that much colder when I put it back on.
You have a valid excuse.

When I've seen the bearings go bad the steering feels rough, like it's "indexing" when you turn the bar.
I had a problem where the headset adjustment loosened up a bit after long rides. Turned out the expander was loose inside the steer tube.

tightening does not make the clunking go away. I’ll take another look at it when I get home. I might have to just take it to the shop. I’ve never had that bike do a complete tear down.
