Replaced top cage bearing as a few ball bearings were cracked. Removed the brake callipers so I could take forks out and clean properly.
Cleaned everything and made sure top and lower cage bearings were all greased properly.
Now I’m getting a judder then braking. I can see the lower forks vibrating.
Tightening or loosening the headset makes no difference.
I tried realigning the callipers and also fitted new brake pads.
The only thing I can think of is the new top cage bearing looks a slightly different profile to the old one. Not sure that would make a difference. I’ll try another replacement which looks more similar and see.
Also the top cap does not appear to be perfectly central. Maybe there is something slightly odd about the new cage bearing. Hopefully I’ll solve the problem eventually.
