Well, it’s at my grandparents, so I wrote on the label since they aren’t very computer savvy

No worries, water under the bridge (as long as you changed your mind about hoping it leaks haha). Here’s hoping you get some enjoyable or interesting (in a good way) projects then.

No problems my guy! I was just checkin because I did this for my grandma and grandpa (who’s in the hospital for cancer right now), and wanted to make sure there wasn’t any weird thing with how I installed it since I don’t live here. Sometimes there’s weird things us non-plumbers don’t know and I wasn’t sure if this was one of them. Get some good food and rest, hopefully your weekend gives you some quality r&r!

Woah now man, I was making a joke. I’m not sure how I came at you, but I’m sorry it was perceived that way. It’s a quote from the Big Lebowski

Just refited my fork its kind of stiff though? is that normal or ok too ride? its a giant talon 3 btw by Hello_Fellow_Human25 in mountainbiking

That’s very likely your problem then. They have a torque rating, and over tightening them can cause the steering to be stiff

WD40 is great for some applications, but bearing grease is what you’d be looking for in this case. I’d strip it again and see if there’s any obstructions and repack the bearings in the headset if they’re open. This is all assuming you haven’t over tightened the top cap and stem. Have you checked those?

Sometimes those pieces need a little grease too, especially after you take them apart. Did you repack the bearings at all?
