  1. After responding to an earlier thread, would it make sense to "break in" a
    headset?

    I installed a Tioga headset in my old Fuji MTB... the races were painted and
    I rotated the fork a couple times (no cables) to get it loosened up.

    My current Giants all have integrated headsets and the compression ring
    sometimes wedges in the cartridge bearing there and the headset gets loose
    because the top cap isn't tightened down to compensate for the compression
    ring actually moving down.

    Has this happened to anyone else? After riding it for a while the problem
    goes away, but should one have to break in a headset?
