You might be able to simply find replacement bearings, rather than a full headset replacement, but I'd definitely try to get that repaired/replaced sooner rather than later. | |

I had a similar situation many years ago, and things weren't compressed enough. Long story short, the headset bearings had begun to degrade when things weren't compressed enough and eventually I had to replace the headset in full. | |
