I think you are correct - after all this! I now think the movement is just the flex of the exposed quill allowed by the hole of the locknut being just a bit larger than it could/should be.Sent from my iPhoneOn Sep 7, 2023, at 3:11 AM, Joe Bernard wrote:Checked my Face Plater in my custom, it shows the same gap as in your video with the same movement..I never knew! I think it's a tall quill stem being yanked by wide bars (Boscos in my case) and these are the results. I'm going to keep riding it as is.

Hi Garth. It is a Nitto FacePlater stem & consistently measures 22.2. I’ve not yet measured the inside diameter of the head tube.Sent from my iPhoneOn Sep 6, 2023, at 3:41 PM, Garth wrote:It appears the diameter of the stem is out of spec as all I see of movement in the video is the stem itself wiggling inside the steering tube. Do measure the diameters of the outer stem and inside the steerer, and in multiple places around the circles. Something is out of spec as that's a whole lotta wiggle, not good. Is that the Nitto or the JIm Faceplater ? If you don't have a caliper for measuring do you at least have a another stem to insert ? If not, contact Riv. Frankly that ought to have been the first place to go. On Wednesday, September 6, 2023 at 3:07:36 PM UTC-4 rmro...@gmail.com wrote:Greetings folks. I would appreciate any input regarding this.

Re: [RBW] Re: Headset adjustment how to ?'s...

This is an excellent thing to add to a pre-ride quick check, or a 
diagnostic tool when someone on a ride complains about clanking noises, 
vibrations or weird handling.  It's surprising how often I find it, 
especially on bikes with threadless headsets (where the whole point is 
you can adjust it in seconds without tools other than a hex key, and yet 
nobody knows how to do it).

movement if the headset is too loose.

Thumbs up on the suggestions on using a stand like the Feedback Rakk 
when making adjustments and on always using two wrenches.


One last note: re-check the headset play after each of the next few 
rides.


Enjoy,

This is a needle bearing IRD Rollerdrive just like Riv sells.

1. Loosen lock nut
2. tighten the nut under the spacers 1/8 turn
3. Tighten lock nut.
4. test for correct feel.
5. Readjust if.


Is this right?
Anything to look out for?
Do I have to worry about those keyed spacers or anything else
that might be keyed I have to be careful of?
Or is this just as easy as described above?
