Yesterday morning I discovered a wobble in the handlebars. I was coming up to a red light and coming to a stop but for some reason took both my hands off the bars and sat back. When the wobble came into the bars I grabbed them again and let out an almighty ripper :lol
So I replicated it after the lights. Took my hands off the bars and sure enough after 2-3 seconds and good amount of wobble in the bars.
Everything I've read would seem to indicate steering head bearings?
Are they a pig of a job to do? Is it DIY'able? I got a quote of €150 for top & bottom bearings but for a pair of uprated bearings with 3 year guarantee from a friend of a friend who has a shop.
What would I need to give this a bash myself or could there be any other cuplrit to that kind of wobble? Thanks
