    When headsets go bad

    How would I know if I needed to replace the bearings in my headset?

    If I held the front end of the bike off the ground, and turned the front wheel left or right just a tiny bit, let it go, and it moved itself back to center, would that be a bad sign?

    If it "fought me" going slowly in a parking lot (steering with hands rather than hips at that speed) is that bad?

    How do I tell tension from the cables from wear in the headset?

    Flossie does these things, Commutermobile doesn't. But Commutermobile has huge loose floppy loops of cable in front, and Flossies are streamlined and fairly snug.
