It’s very easy to tell if your headset is creaking… While standing over the bike, hold the front brake and gently rock the bike forward and back ever so slightly. You will feel a knock, or hear the creak, if it’s loose. It’s an easy fix if it is, just loosen the 2 horizontal stem pinch bolts then very slowly tighten the vertical bolt on top while rocking the bike in the same motion as before. Stop when the knock/creak stops. Realign the stem/wheel and retighten the pinch bolts to 5nm.
Yes, indeed life is great on an E bike. Are they allowing E bikes at VK now?
Gotta get me an E!!! More fun less suck! HA!
