Re: 2014 Speed Concept? [Carl]
owner's PSA: I learned the hard way the headset area of these bikes is very susceptible to collecting moisture. My steering recently became "clicky" and when I took the bike in to get checked, the headset bearings had to be replaced because they were completely corroded. This bike was only 5 months old but most of the riding was done over the winter indoors and I definitely sweat buckets. The shop said liquid literally ran out of the headset for about 15 seconds when they pulled it apart. I can't imagine that smelled very good. My prior bike with a "normal" headset configuration had bearings replaced once in 9 years. I've already gotten one of those "bike thongs" for next winter.
