Is the expander plug far down the steerer enough? I found my top cap was botttoming out on the plug after I had cut my steerer (and then refitted the plug). If it is, then also try greasing the threads on the top cap and also where the top cap interfaces with the top of the stem. Then try tightening everything up again and it should feel nice and snug (and stay that way).
I found that after any removal of the fork the headset took one ride and a couple of big bumps to settle into place and would need tightening once more after this.

Had a gravel ride today with my local shop and needed some larger tyres than my 25c Schwalbes. Nicked a pair of 30c Challenge’s from my girlfriends bike. Wow, what a transformation!
Returned to said shop and got a pair of 28c Vittoria Corsas. Of course, they aren’t a gravel tyre, but will do for the occasional foray I do. I’m excited to try them out.
So far, loving this bike.

Loving this bike more and more. I think the fit is pretty much there, but will be going for a proper bike fit in a few months time. The brakes are amazing on the steeper and twistier descents here in Barcelona.
Swapped the bars to some flatter topped Zipp’s and the saddle to a fabric. Next, I’ll probably go for some 28mm Turbo Cotton’s.
