Just a plug here, I took my old Cannondale Gemini to a large well known bike shop in North Manly with a wobbly headset, and a need for a desperate tune up after not being ridden for a couple of years, so after almost a week, they called me to say it was non fixable and they could no longer source a headset , so could'nt do anything with it other than advise me to take it to Jordan at the Ride in Workshop in Balgowlah ( as he used to work at Cannondale and may be able to get a hold of a new one)
Over the years i've bought three bikes and countless gear from these guys, and i have 5 bikes needing periodic work etc, so i'd have thought they could try a bit harder, it's not exactly an uncommon headset.
anyway, i took it to Jordan, explained what the go was, told him to get a new headset, give it a tune up etc....he called me an hour later to tell me the headset was fixed, all it needed was a new race...fixed the un fixable in under an hour!
Never met the guy before, sorted it out straight away and a few extra bits later, an 03 Gemini rides like a new one!
use him if you can...
