Track frame has 1inch threadless headset with needle / roller bearings. They're either just binding (both directions turn) else it's knocking. I've been riding it tight and it tracks ok-ish but really should sort this so I have buttery smooth steering.
I read that roller bearings do feel tighter: http://bikeretrogrouch.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/roller-needle-bearing-headsets.html?m=1
Anyone experience of likely causes beyond this? Cups not fully pressed in / wonky (needs facing?). Dodgy headtube?
It's an early 90's cannondale track, any recommendations for normal type bearing 1inch threadless that'll fit like for like?
Ta.

No, not Poles, poles.

In an effort to ease the pounding on my feet at Meriden I've invested in some poles.
Anyone here used them much got any hints?

Agreed! The Kenyan good too. Be good to see how they settle down next week.
25 uphill, 12 down. Lost my compass on first proper downhill near Marsden after a Nav error (at the only point I really needed to Nav) then chasing back onto route with an open pocket.
Poles mostly great, especially when planting them to vault over the boggy stuff.
